You nailed it Cicero. I’m one of those on Sodium Restriction for health. I miss the taste, even after 6 yrs on the Restricted Sodium I find it hard to stick to it. Then you add in the fact doctors and dietitians don’t know how much you actually need as it is a individual body issue. Sodium intake is a ‘fine’ balance necessity. REAL sea salt is lt pink, lt grey or grey, it provides more taste, with less of the bad component. You get the better taste sans to many mg of sodium.

So is a reasonable amount of Cholesterol, your body needs it.

This is a NEW study.

Sodium is a tricky item, your body needs a certain amount, I know for certain Doctors and dietitian’s under estimate the amount your body needs, and it is by individual not as a average, but that is what we are getting told, yet those with heart disease, Meniere’s (Think VERTIGO that last a long time), I’m sure there are more, these are the 2 I’m most familiar with, are limited in the Sodium MGS amount they can consume. IF we eat out I have to request NO salt be added and salt my own as I know what it’s supposed to taste like. Took me 6 months of playing with it to establish what I accurately needed. Twice the amount they allotted. To get rid of the sick feeling of being under what my body required.

I call those liquid diets in the hospital a Meniere’s attack on a single tray. 1 bowl of choke a horse to death over salted broth, and a box of Ensure Clear (taste like Horse manure) contains all the sodium my body will tolerate for a day. I do NOT eat when in the hospital on those diets. Ditto goes for their Red and Yellow dye gelatin or pop cycles, I taste the chems and react to them.

Hospitals are now going to mooch’s diet plan. When a 20 yr Ret. SCPO won’t touch the crap you know it’s crap.
