To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks

With 900 milligrams of sodium per teaspoon of soy sauce, the government is considering how certain changes in the delivery of wasabi can impact health.

NHS and Kathleen Sebelius are outlining rules based on the Pritikin Diet, which finds that you can replace sodium laced soy sauce with rice vinegar reducing salt intact nearly 100% but, still giving that hot but quickly dissapating taste wasabi is so well known for and enjoyed.

In other news, a certain Freeper did stop in at Whole Foods and did find an excellent soy sauce replacement that has only 100 milligrams of sodium and tastes just like soy sauce.

In fact, I replaced the soy sauce with this and no one could tell the difference.

It’s called Bragg, Liquid Aminos, Natural Soy Sauce Alternative. It’s only $4 bucks for 16 ounces and there is no reason not to use it.

Great on rice and with sushi. You won’t be able to taste the difference but your body will be able to tell.

That’s all we use now. No more soy sauce.

Thanks for the tip! I switched to the low-sodium soy sauce, but it's still quite salty. I'll give this a try.

x 2. To me it is indistinguishable from soy sauce and it's all I use now on foods that call for it.

Mrs. VanShuyten is Japanese, and I lived there for over a dozen years. We will be able to tell the difference.
It's odd that you think the people with the longest lifespan in a developed country need to abandon soy sauce. Perhaps there are other parts of your diet that you need to look more closely at.
Salt in a diet that uses mostly prepared foods can be a problem. The same with sugar. Just make stuff yourself, so you can control how much sugar, salt, MSG, etc.,is in your food. A well-fermented soy sauce is hard to beat as a flavor enhancer.

That explains the high cardiovascular death rate in Japan. Who knew I thought it was sushi.

For those avoiding soy sauce because of the soy: coconut aminos are an excellent substitute. I have no idea how much sodium it has (honestly, the sodium-is-bad meme is not applicable for most people).
