Salt is contained in a lot of products. Got salted butter? Smear it on bread. Guess which ingredient is used in bread. Correct: salt. Maybe you put some cold cuts on it. They've got a lot of salt. What about cheese? Salt again. Now you move on to your coffee. You put dairy milk in it: salt. Lunch? Probably a lot of salt. Dinner? Needless to say. If you snack some chips, well, obviously it's a shitload of salt.
Salt is everywhere. Especially in today's food industry. Having salt is not necessarily bad for one's health – in fact, we do need salt for our body to function – but as usual it's the amount that matters.
And according to several dietary authorities worldwide, most people eat too much salt.
WHO:
FDA (USA):
Overview in EU:
Salt is one of those substances which have large effects even in low doses. Therefore, being above the recommended intake on average increases risks of suffering mainly from:
So, if you're interested in your health, try to get an overview on how much salt you consume on average. And if it's above the recommended intake (which is usually the case), consider whether you really really can not live without salted butter or try to cut down on salt with other meals. And probably, taking the shaker off the table won't be enough.
Guess what water with a TDS>0 has? Salt!
Remember that nail your forgot to galvanise and it catching rust? Salt!
Remember the fancy false ceiling? Salt!
Alum, used to precipitate dissolved "hardness"? Salt!
Mineral water has minerals! Salt!
So, if you're interested in knowing about the chemicals that make the world around you, refer to you friendly neighbourhood High School Chemistry book and have FFUUNN!

True true. Although you don't suck on rusty nails.
You don't know me!
Just wanted to put the point that Natrium salts are not the only salts.
Look, I'm sure when you were organizing all of that into the great wall of fuck, you meant well, but I didn't ask for it, and the fact that you assume some stranger on the internet has a diet so bad they need to have a wall of text sent to them about the dangers of their perceived salt intake is kinda insulting. So, yeah. Thanks, I guess, but please, find something else to do.
"Great wall of fuck", that's creative haha, I like it. xD
I'm sorry if this offended you. It really wasn't my intention to let you feel that way. I just wanted to spread some awareness about this as it's one of our civilisation's great dietary problems. What you do with that piece of information is of course up to you.
I feel like you've not read the part where I said the following:
Which should show that I didn't assume that you specifically have a bad diet. But maybe I haven't expressed myself carefully enough.
Unfortunately, I have to disappoint you in that as writing great walls of fuck on Lemmy, is sometimes a preferred time killer of mine. Also, my experience shows that there are also other readers on Lemmy who can be interested in such great walls of fuck.
