    Low salt diet poses a health risk

    The evidence is hard to argue with, and hopefully the FDA will finally change their shortsighted public "health" campaigns to lower sodium in diet. http://online.wsj.com/articles/recommen ... 1407964274

    Mortons Pickling Salt

    I know this is the salt of choice by 'Peaties', but I wonder if anyone here has had adverse reactions to it?

    Salt Or Just Sodium?

    I am only just beginning to be exposed to some of Ray Peat's ideas. He seems to be an advocate of an adequate salt intake. Does he see value in just sodium, or is the chloride essential in his view? For example, could we take sodium bicarbonate and get the same value?

    Salt in Australia

    So I gather that Morton's pickling salt is the best because it has no impurities in it, but haven't heard whether or not it has a favourable sodium content (if that even exists between different salts). In Australia I can't find Morton's and it would cost me seventy dollars just for shipping so...

    Low salt intake is associated with poorer health outcomes

    This study gives direct corroboration that sodium intake in the range of 2.5g-5g daily result in much better health than the officially (based on official CDC policy) recommended <2,300mg intake. Most people already eat the higher amounts of sodium, but one likely needs higher doses since peat...

    Ideas On Getting Salt Into The Diet

    Firstly, I am aware of the 'how much salt to go into your diet' thread. This is a different thread. This is a thread of HOW do I get salt into my diet. If adding salt into sugary OJ/creamy milk makes you want to heave, what other options are there? I love salt, but it bears no place in a...

    Sea Salt = Polution

    The North Sea was used by the Soviets and the Europeans for 50 years as a dumping ground for nuclear waste. They used plain steel drums, like 50 gallon oil drums. The water of the north Sea is polluted by that material. All sea salt is made from near coastal water that is washed into broad flat...

    Sodium (Salt, Soda, Etc) Acts Like Naltrexone

    Hi all, I have been researching this lately, since I have always wondered why salt is thermogenic. It looks like one of the main reasons is that salt acts like a functional opioid "receptor" antagonist, very similar to naltrexone. As you probably know, all opioid agonists (alcohol, morphine...

    Do you consume iodized salt at home? Did you do differently before reading Peat? Do you think iodine's RDA (150 mcg) is correct?

    How Do I Know How Much Salt To Add To My Diet?

    My diet is mostly milk, OJ and coffee throughout the day. I will have liver once in a while. I do not like the taste of salt in my drink, so how do I know how much salt to eat? I put salt on my spoon (probably about 1/4tsp), eat that and then down it with some liquid, a few times a day. So I...

    Thoughts on mixing baking soda with lemon, lime, vinegar?

    What are your thoughts when it comes to making a drink where you mix baking soda with either lemon juice, lime juice, or vinegar (shooting for a pH of 7)? I am trying to find out of this is harmful or beneficial. My thoughts are that if you mix the baking soda with the acids, all you are left...

    Hello, I've been using celtic sea salt and this pink bolivian rock salt mostly (and whatever type of salt that happens to be in prebought foods). Also the mineral spring water I drink has some sodium in it (10mg per cup). For months now I've been going back and forth with edema in legs/feet and...
