Bear,

Don't our tongues have taste buds for salt and sweet? Why then wouldn't it be natural to desire those?

You're not specific about the kind of salt. Regular table salt is heavily processed, but supposedly sea salt has trace minerals and is promoted as healthful. Just want your opinion. Salt is salt?

Many health gurus suggest eating fermented foods with active bacterial cultures and lactic acid, like sauerkraut, and claim it's good for digestion. Your opinion? A carb is a carb is a carb?
