Could You Do Without Salt

[oscarina]

Ran out of salt today, had to have tomatoes in my sandwiches saltless also mashed potatoes later, went for the pepper good flavouring but still missed the salt, I know most foods are full of salt, I do limit mine, what would you miss salt on!

[Hopkirk]

I never add salt to anything.

[sandyRoe]

I don't add any salt now and don't miss it. Probably still eating too much.

[MickyMacgraw]

Yes I need salt, soy sauce is a great salt substitute!

[anneasquith]

my salt intake is far too high !

[DTCwordfan]

there's actually enough salt in foodstuffs to avoid adding it and meet the body's needs - which are principally in nerve message exchange, along with a potassium exchange. Excess salt in the body can lead to increased blood pressure....... The only major caution is when it is really hot outside or hard exercise and thats when the body asks for some more.....

The one thing I like some extra salt on though is french fries - along with some mayo...........

[netibiza]

I do not add it to my cooking or my food, but if I buy unsalted ham for example, it tastes disgusting.

[oscarina]

Yes chips or french fries without salt don't taste good, must try soy sauce. use it as a marinade!

[netibiza]

but is soy sauce bad for us like salt! I do put low salt on boiled eggs, and only vinegar on chips!

[Bambiagain]

I use a fair amount of salt in my cooking. Some salt is necessary for everyone, and I am fortunate in that I have been advised by a specialist to eat more salt due to my low blood pressure.

[MickyMacgraw]

Netibiza I never realized it contained salt, but there are some health benefits too.

A lettuce sarnie with extra salt!! my sarnies are lettuce tomato cheese, coleslaw, or egg and onion with mayonnaise, lettuce all on its own never!

deffinatley, i never have salt in the house, i really hate the taste of salt, and never add any into my food. when i have a jacket or fish n chips, i always say no salt please.

oscarina, you will get used to it. just reduce a bit at a time then you wouldnt need it ever again... without salt you get to taste proper food, salt is just a flavour enhanser (sorry cant spell) bit like MSG. they can be very addictive thats why alot of ppl loves chinese food

[DTCwordfan]

there's a lack of logic to that point - not all Chinese establishments use MSG and some of us love Chinese food withouit MSG - and esp if you have lived out there as I have (Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu and HK)

[chrissa1]

I would hate to live without salt.

[bimbo123456]

No need to miss salt. There are alternatives that taste as good without the "dangerous" sodium.. No Salt is the one I use. I can't tell the difference. Personally, I only ever salt potatoes when I am roasting them, otherwise I let butter add the salt. LOL

"Could You Do Without Salt"

No, it would kill you.

You can do without adding salt to anything though.

[cazzz1975]

[sara3]
