That is what alot of raw fooders believe, they say why would man, who if he drinks salt water and dies, decides to take the water out? You know who I am talking about.. Re: If salt is so unhealthy then why do we have it salt tastebuds?

Date: September 20, 2008 08:53AM Sodium occurs naturally in whole foods. We need it, along with a number of other electrolytes, to regulate water balance in the body.
But, there is generally no or very limited need for added sodium, except for extreme cases. Re: If salt is so unhealthy then why do we have it salt tastebuds?

Date: September 20, 2008 01:32PM it's a confusing subject
man decides to do a lot of things, like grow and chew tobacco and enslave animals for meat consumption, and start drinking milk I don't know if salt will necessarily make your diet extremely bad, but you shouldn't have to use a lot of it to flavor food. Or just use dulse or something  No one can say whether it's extremely harmful or extremely good to use, we just have to go by trial and error, pretty much. If you like it, then hell, use it
or use some SPIICESSS even better Re: If salt is so unhealthy then why do we have it salt tastebuds?

The body needs salt but it needs salt that has been incorporated into a plants cell structure (organized). Sea salt and other forms of inorganic salt are toxic to the body. Re: If salt is so unhealthy then why do we have it salt tastebuds?

Date: September 21, 2008 07:58AM Salt is necessary for life for mammals. Herbivores (and some insects) are known to go to "salt licks". The problem with the modern world is that most processed food has added salt to it (in a very pure form to boot, Sodium Chloride, not the mix of salts like sea salt). It is very easy to get too much salt from a SAD diet if you don't watch the ingredients first. Re: If salt is so unhealthy then why do we have it salt tastebuds?

Date: September 21, 2008 04:06PM I just saw a special on tv about salt, and it's actually pretty cool how they get it. There's a bunch of different kind, and some contain trace minerals, some salt even comes from caves of salt. I know it's supposed to have iodine which helps the thyroid to function. Also, I think salt tastebuds can tell you when you crave something salty, what you may be defficiant in, like minerals, for example. Most salt is processed and given a bad name. Perhaps it isn't a necessity, though, but it doesn't mean that it's toxic. Re: If salt is so unhealthy then why do we have it salt tastebuds?

Date: September 21, 2008 04:59PM we also have a strong taste desire for sugar and fat. that's because those things are terrific for us in a natural state and quantity that we could obtain on our own before the invention of packaged food. food manufacturers prey on those natural taste favourites to create edibles that satisfy but they lack balance and are therefore bad for you. your mouth doesn't know that though, it isn't designed to think, only to taste.

Date: September 21, 2008 05:56PM coco is right on. salt is a refined version of sodium found in foods. like sugar is a refined version of fruit sugar. Re: If salt is so unhealthy then why do we have it salt tastebuds?

Sugar comes from food naturally. You don't have to eat a Hershey Bar. So does salt. You don't have to eat Potato Chips. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 09/21/2008 11:54PM by LikeItOrNot. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
