assertion
Analysis v1
Insulin makes your kidneys hold onto salt, even if you didn't eat extra salt.
Scientific Claim
Insulin acts as a sodium-retaining hormone, causing the kidneys to retain sodium independent of dietary sodium intake.
Original Statement
“What they don't know is that insulin doesn't just lower your blood sugar. It's also signals to the kidneys to hold on to sodium. Not because you've eaten more salt, but because insulin itself is a sodium retaining hormone.”
