The Truth About Salt

My sister-in-law had a doctor tell her there wasn't enough sodium in her diet. He suggested soda and snack foods!

It's true!

You'll die if you don't get enough salt in your system. That's why I eat a teaspoon of it every morning.

That's what I was thinking. It's pretty much gotten to the point where you can't have anything anymore. Sorry that has too much fat. Whoops, too much carbs in that. Nope, too much salt in that. Too much sugar in this. And too many calories in that. Generally speaking, if it tastes remotely good odds are it's going to kill you. :beer:

I believe it only leads to hypertension if your prone to hypertension.
