It's immature but I couldn't help but chuckle!

High salt content in foods isn't too much of an issue, it's lack of education in nutrition.... {snip}

Yes there may be high levels of salt, but if you monitor what you eat then it shouldn't be a problem. besides you need a certain amount of salt every day anyway!

Echo~

I definitely eat over 6g of salt per day, just get them from various food - without "adding" more to them e.g. chips or boiled veg. Besides, people that does a lot of physical exercises / sweat a lot needs "more" compared to a couch potato; when I don't have enough salt in take and did too much intense exercise (i.e. 4 training sessions a week of taekwondo), I get leg / toe cramps - I never knew that until my sports-physio and dietician told me so.

lack of salt causes cramps

Corrected info (and it's also not the sole cause of cramps either)

It by no means mean you have to start guzzling in more salty food - it just means the recommended 6g of salt a day is as it is, just a recommendation, it works for most but not all.

The amount of salt in bread is shocking. I eat a healthy diet which is completely ruined by the gits at Hovis and Kingsmill. Apparently they are afraid if they remove salt people will move to other brands to replace the 'false' good taste

I don't think that's the reason for salt in bread. Depending on your age, you may remember a time when bread didn't last anywhere near as long as it does now. I think on average a loaf of bread lasts about seven days now, but as a child I remember it was only two or three days before it started going a bit stale.

I don't put that entirely down to salt of course, but I bet it plays a part.

Salt won't stop it going stale, and to stop it going mouldly you'd need far more salt than would be pallatable.

I think it's already been established the amount of salt in a loaf isn't far removed from what you put in a breadmaker.

Although breadmaker bread lasts for ever, and just goes stale rather than going moudly

Are there really that many health freaks amongst us who care how much salt we are digesting?

Low in fat, low in salt, then get bladdered at the weekend
