Sodium bad?

[81RIDER]

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Sodium bad and pretty much turn into sugar?

excess (which can be easily reached) is bad because it increases your water retention and raises your blood pressure.
Doesnt turn into sugar.

There are already a few good threads on this but I will weigh in again briefly, unless you have high blood pressure sodium is NOT bad for you and I use it in fairly large quantities. Much of the water you retain will be in the muscle and not interstitial.
