Salt: The Scapegoat for the Western Diet

[Guest guest]

If you haven't already read this article in the McDougall Newsletter, you

probably should. It gives lots of information about salt and has great things to

say about the vegetarian diet!

I highly recommend it as a good read - and I should add that the

printer-friendly version is a great one to have for reference and to copy for

doubtful and/or needy friends and family

This was very interesting. Thank you for sending it along. The main reason I

watch my sodium intake is that it can make me hold fluids like nothing else, but

when I plan on going for a long bicycle ride, I make a point of eating something

ahead of time that does have it.

Oh lots of us watch or salt intake - or should. I certainly do. The point is how

_much_ and why.

 

Dr McDougall gives examples of how much salt he usually figures people on his

diet (following his recipes, which are salt-free) would take in by sprinkling a

little salt at the table. It's not much compared to the average salt intake

through consuming junk food and, dare I say it, processed me*ts.

 

I also think McDougall's comments on a plant-based diet re salt intake are

excellent.

 

Love and hugs, Pat

Thanks for the link. It appears eating sensibly and attending to the physical

cravings of our bodies is the correct way. Now that cheeseless pizza with vegan

dough and green peppers.....
