'The study reported an average intake of sodium of approximately 3,650 mg per day and a normal range of 2,600 to 4,800 mg per day.'
“This analysis defines the normal range and mean value for sodium intake in humans and documents that the range has not changed during five decades, nor has it been influenced by ethnicity or the unique dietary practices of various cultures around the world,” McCarron said.
If I had a doctor either cite the BMI (junk scale) or talk about salt I would find a new doctor, too.
I agree. If my doctor just said don't take salt and didn't tell me why then I would be done with him. It seems the medical world is now leaning towards some salt being ok. I guess the old timers out there want to keep promoting old practices. This is the problem with older doctors that don't keep up with the times and training.
My dokter told me I eat too much salt but I said whatever its all natural and organic he didnt like that and now I need a new dokter.
In later news the sky is blue.
Organic sugar cane is organic, and natural, but you shouldn't eat a lot of it because - regardless of its origins, it's not healthy to eat a lot of it.
There are millions of natural organic substances that you shouldn't eat a lot of. If you are eating too much salt, then you're eating too much salt. And by salt, I mean sodium, which isn't necessarily the stuff that comes out of a Morton's container. There are lots of foods that are natural and organic and contain - naturally and organically - high amounts of sodium. If you eat too much of those foods even if you don't add a pinch of salt to anything for a whole week, you will be eating too much salt.
In other news, kentucky blue grass is actually green.
I am someone who takes in to much salt! Im aware of it and been trying to limit it. I no longer salt food, unless its unsalted then add a bit for flavor. I use to salt food that were salted already, popcorn and fries. My dad cut back a lot on his intake. He uses a no salt, salt now for seasoning. I mostly make from scratch meals which makes a big difference as well.
Eating more salt doesn't necessarily equate to adding more salt to your diet. It is all an adrenal/kidney issue in how much salt we retain. Some people can add salt to their diet in vast amounts and still suffer from not having enough sodium. This is because hormones control salt retention.

Also diuretics do that too - I've been on high-blood pressure meds plus diuretics for over 15 years and my sodium level is always below what is 'normal' ... but then I also hate the taste of salt for some reason and don't use it at all ... have been trying to use it more but it makes me want to throw up
