It wasn't that long ago that the Europeans were bragging about the Euro, and that it could never fail. :( -- Anyone wanting to run for any political office in the US should have to have a DD214, and a honorable discharge.

Many get dangerous levels. From the wikipedia page on salt... Meta-analysis in 2009 found that the sodium consumption of 19,151 individuals from 33 countries fit into the narrow range of 2,700 to 4,900 mg/day. The small range across many cultures, together with animal studies, suggest that sodium intake is tightly controlled by feedback loops in the body, making recommendations to reduce sodium consumption below 2,700 mg/day potentially futile.[72] ....which is interesting. Salt intake is not particularly associated with Western diets. I trust my body to self-regulate basic stuff like this. John

Salt intake is not particularly associated >with Western diets. I trust my body to self-regulate basic stuff like >this. What do you mean mot associated with Western diets. We eat a *ton* of salt. It's added, in massive quantities, to just about everything. You may be able to trust your body to self-regulate, but add a little kidney or heart damage and that won't work out so well.

I take a multi vitamin, and a potassium tablet each day. If it's a choice between taking a few years off my life from too much sodium, or dying within a couple years after surgeons slice off body parts from too little sodium I'd rather die of a heart attack. -- Anyone wanting to run for any political office in the US should have to have a DD214, and a honorable discharge. |
