My local supermarket is selling unflavoured, unsweetened cows
milk yoghurt. On the list of ingredients it simply says
"contains milk". On the list of nutrional data it refers to
"0.2g salt per 100g". That comes as a shock to me as I eat
about 2 litres of yoghurt a day, thats a whopping 2g salt in
my drinks before I even start on the food. This supermarket is
the only one that gives a salt content. Are all cows milk
yoghurts oing to have the same levels of salt?

Any comments? I think that it may be shock for someone. In
this link : http://www.rice.edu/~jenky/sports/salt.html is:

"Sweat contains between 2.25 - 3.4 grams of salt per liter,
and the rate of perspiration in a long, hot race can easily
average 1 liter per hour. So, for a 12 hour race, one could
lose approximately 27 to 41 grams of salt. If the athlete
replaces only the lost water and has minimal salt intake,
hyponatremia can result."

But this salt can be recovered. Water evaporate but salt is on
ones skin and on underweare. So if one goes to bed without
strip tease and shower the salt will be again in the body
after a few hours. S*
