This is a planned control system meant to coincide with Socialized Medicine. If they pass Health Care they will have us all living in Rubber Rooms and wearing Obama Safety Suits. To cut Health Care Costs.
My wife’s cardiologist recommends she drink salty sports drinks as her potassium level drops when she is sodium depleted.
I love salt. I consume lots of it.
The science is largely irrelevant to this issue. Whether sodium is good for my health, bad for my health, or has no effect on my health, in a free society it is my choice to decide if I want to consume it, and in what amounts.
Don't like sodium? Don't consume it. Don't like restaurants with salty food? Go somewhere else. It's really pretty simple. There's no need to force one set of preferences on everyone else.
Salt retains water.
Ya want to lose weight? Stop your salt intake.
Simple deal.
I recently had some problems, had been eating Doritoes off and on. Found out that they have a lot of MSG in them and stopped eating them. Lol, all the things we like seem to be bad for us.
I have been making an effort to eat more salt. I believe I am developing thyroid trouble, and the thyroid needs iodine, which is delivered in salt. Normally, I don’t eat much salt.
I saw an article not long ago in a more scientific source, questioning the push towards regulating salt. Studies have shown that control of salt intake is a tightly controlled mechanism, and there is not much variance between salt intakes world wide. It is between about 2100 and 4300 mg.
Using kosher salt now for cooking. Lots of recipes call for it.
How refreshing to see a good dose of reality and science injected into this discussion. Too often, emotion crowds out the place where facts and data should be. Thanks!
In lots of arid temperate areas of the US, folks run low on salt. My Dr. said he was stunned to find that one patient after another had low sodium and potassium levels. As well as a lot of other minerals. Sweat too much in the heat.
Put every Chinese and Mexican restaurant out of business. Also Red Lobster, Olive Garden and Chili’s.
Red Lobster’s Admiral’s Feast with Caesar salad, creamy lobster-topped mashed potato, cheddar bay biscuit, and a lemonade packs 7,106 mg of sodium.
Olive Garden’s Tour of Italy Lasagna with a bread stick, salad with house dressing, and a Coke has a whopping 6,176 mg of sodium.
Chili’s Buffalo Chicken Fajitas with tortillas, condiments and a Dr. Pepper has 6,916 mg of sodium.
I don’t think these places should be regulated but these are huge amounts.
