I've never seen that discussed. FWIW, here is a study (and I have no way of knowing if it is of value or not) that shows a 'heavy sweater' exercising for two hours with no fluid replacement, and his basic sodium balance changes by around 3.5%. But maybe the quoted statement is correct. I've simply never heard of it being a significant factor before.
