Hi Renee and Panacea,

We must never underestimate the importance of salt/sodium in our diets.

I want to reiterate what I said about DISLIKING SALT.

I personally,don't USE alot of salt in foods that I cook,but I do feel that since most of us do eat some processed foods,that we are getting enough. There is salt in everything we buy,with the acception of natural foods. Certain veggies also have salt. I agree ,salt is never to be removed from the diet completely. Even,my husband being on a salt restricted diet,does not mean he does not eat salt,but has to keep to low sodium content foods.I do believe though,that it is unusual in this day and age to be sodium defficient.Even when not adding additional salt to foods when cooking,there is always going to be some sodium in something that we are eating.I find that even with my husband not salting his meals anylonger,he is still high in sodium by eating processed foods,like cheese.My hubby is a big cheese eater and was told to knock it out of his diet.

Also,I do know that drinking large quantities of water washes the sodium out,so one would have to tend to be careful there with ensuring that their intake of sodium is sufficient.

I agree with Renee,-I too find that I NEED salt sometimes,and a few crackers or a homemade soup with salt puts me back in sync. The thing that confuses me is the iodized salt. How do we know the difference?/and why is it not a good idea? Most products just say the amount of sodium content,so,would that be understandable to assume that it is iodized salt?

Just a question,as I don't really know the difference.

Thanks!
