Seni-OT: End the war on salt!

Hmmm, Look into what Finish government did for 25 years regarding salt consumption. My family does not have salt shaker on the table. We are always on low sodium diet. If you eat lot of processed food stuff there comes enough salt with it. Was that research ran for at least 25 years?

...and the other three percent are forced to consume huge quantities anyway. I haven't added salt to any food for forty years. There's already too much in it.

Most meals, I use a salt weapon.

That assumes hypertension is the only reason to avoid salt.

Reminds me of a government financed study many years ago and published in Nature that showed people in restaurants used more salt when the holes in the salt shaker were bigger.

Brilliant idea. Manufacture and sell a small AR15 replica that looks like it is made out of salt and display in a case that says, "A salt weapon".

I wonder if the founding fathers envisioned that use of tax payer dollars? I doubt it!

Yes, that's seni-OT.

Make one with high capacity, and dispenses salt on food, and I'm interested.

Hollow out D cell, make "salt and battery".

I'm telling you to make and market these things. Maybe, Stormin Mormon Manufacturing Co.

The real answer to that is to stay away from processed foods. Salt is just a cheap way to trick your taste buds into thinking the food has flavor. That is why processed food has so much.

If I'm not mistaken, 100% - 6% = 94%, not 97%.

I wonder if I can get the Chinese to make and I can import?

You'd start with somebody here and who knows where it would end up. Nobody makes complete products themselves except for maybe final assembly. I did some work with a plastics manufacturer and that is all they did was make things like food packages for others.

Sure, but that's difficult to do and forget going out to eat.

You are mistaken. 100% of the population - 6% who have hypertension + 3% of those who have the type of hypertension aggravated by salt = 97% of the population who can eat as much salt as they like.

Note: Salt does not CAUSE hypertension, it merely aggravates hypertension in

Crap. I missed the "half of those" part. I promise I will never do that again.

Well, actually, when you figure in the ones that would have hypertension if the consumed more salt, the percentage is quite a bit more. But still a minority by a long shot.

The sad thing is that this has been in medical literature for ages. One of the studies I read with this conclusion was in the 1940s!

Same deal with the cholesterol myth.

And 97% of children can play in the street without being run over. What's your point?

The war is not over, look here.....
