Greetings,

I like salt. I have been told by people that I should not put
so much salt on my food because it is "bad for me". I don't
have high blood pressure. I don't suffer from dehydration.
What bad thing is this salt going to cause to happen to me?
Are these people speaking hogwash?

Thank you for your time, William

I believe if you drink enough water the salt content is
just going to flush out of your body and you need more
anyway. This could be hard on your kidneys though making
them work overtime.

Excess salt causes hypertension in many people, especially
children. Excess sodium chloride may also impede absorption of
other salts that contain essential nutrients - phosphorus,
potassium etc. Personally I recommend the USA 2005 dietary
guidelines (see http://sankey.ws/dietref.html for links to
this and some other dietary questions). If your salt intake is
considerably in excess of these guidelines, I recommend slowly
decreasing it. Excess salt is an acquired taste and can be
corrected.

Greetings,

"Hard on my kidneys"? I currently have no kidney problems.
Does eating a lot of salt long term increase the chances of
this or that kidney problem? Please note that I am not asking
about a person with a kidney problem eating salt. I am asking
if a person who does NOT have a kidney problem will develop
one by eating salt as this post seems to perhaps imply?

Thanks, William
