“The rigid low-sodium diet is insipid, unappetising, monotonous, unacceptable, and intolerable. To stay on it requires the asceticism of a religious zealot.”
The new study measured potassium as well as sodium levels in people’s urine and found that higher potassium, which is found in fruit and vegetables, cut rates of stroke, heart disease and death. “Perhaps salt-reduction evangelists and salt-addition libertarians could temporarily put aside their vitriol and support the hypothesis that diets rich in potassium confer substantially greater health benefits than aggressive sodium reduction,” they write.
many cooks of course continue to profess that adding salt whilst cooking enhances the process and improves the flavor of the food in question? - any comment Bakerman?
I never take any notice of the so called experts. Put them in a room together and I doubt they could agree on the colour of the walls.
Basically, if I want salt, I'll have it although I don't smother food in it. Same with sugar, butter and everything else because whatever is said, it will change in the future.
