| Great transcript. I know that sodium causes a lot of bloating and "feeling" full/fat, but I didn't realize it played such a role in actually causing the fat cells to become larger. Wow. I'll have to look more into that! |

| Recently, I completely cut out table salt and canned goods that contain high quantities of salt. I lost 10 pounds in two weeks from just eliminating salt from my diet. |

| First it was carbs, then too much protein, then sugar, then grazing, now it's salt. I really don't think it's salt that has america so over weight,it is the quality of food available to us, and of course the "large, biggie, super size" volumes we consume on a daily basis. How about a few forgotten words like discipline and moderation; and we start taking responsibility for our actions. |

| It makes sense. Most packaged foods are high salt to begin with. So to cut down on salt is to cut down on packaged foods. Genius! |

| I think with Salt comes high fat foods. So cutting on salt will cut on fat foods and will make you loose weight. Too much salt do make you bloated but not overweight. Plus, iodized salt is actually beneficial for your thyroid function. As a piece of advise, If you do eat lot of salt/sodium during the day then drink at least 10 glasses of water throughout the day to flush it out of your system. |

| I find it difficult to believe a "nutritionist" points out the difference in sodium amounts of 2 different "oatmeals", namely the apple cinnamon and maple sugar. These are highly processed foods! How about REAL rolled outs instead?? There may be a small amount of natural sodium in them, but when you mix oats and water together and microwave it, YOU have control over how much sodium, sugar or other sweeteners are in it, and it takes no time at all. It's not rocket science, I agree with Not Buying It! |

| I just came out of hospital after a first-time collapse. The specialist said that had I not collapsed for the reson I did then I would have collapsed a week or two later as my salt level was too low.
Quite sobering!
Surpisingly I have been putting on some extra kilos in weight, despite working not to and having such a low level of salt.
So sometimes a blanket rule may not be right, had I dropped back further on salt then I would have collapsed more quickly and who knows I may have died, if for instance I had been driving? |

| Thank you Tammy, I have always thought this and now it is proven. Thanks for all the additional info as well. I am in the transition of going back to school for Nutrition. I really appreciate the time and effort put forth to this......Guy's don't forget that all that fast food you are eating contains high sodium levels and fat...so you are plumping up quick... get off the fast food and drop weight fast. |

| Hi Guys,
I have not used salt or sugar for over 39 years because suspicions were aroused after reading several health reports of the day that referred to both of them as "white death", there were also visible correlations between fat and high blood pressure amongst relatives.
Several clever people have asked for, and received, links to this research but others have dismissed this outright with no further ado, I don't understand this, we must have the courage to search out answers no matter how unappealing they might be, or we never progress.
Cheers |

| One should NEVER eliminate salt from the diet, it is vital to salinate the body fluids, so they conduct cellular electricity optimally.However, refined salt is fatal. For an adult, about half a teaspoon of say Himalayan salt per day in the diet is adequate, with approx 2 litres of clean water. See Dr Batmanghelidj's wonderful book " Your body's many cries for water." |

| Thanks for the references Tammy! Reading them now, looks very interesting. Some of this research is from 2007 and may have been conducted a year or two prior to publication. I wonder why salt hasn't been implicated in other studies related to obesity? |

| Too much salt (sodium chloride) won't make you fat but it can give you high blood pressure.

| Here's a surprising fact: Did you know that "Natural Salt" that is unprocessed, mostly found in small independent health food stores, and is described as grey-ish, solid and somewhat clammy to the touch has 32 essential nutrients and vitamins the body needs daily. Did you know that the Food and Drug industry has the salt processed and stripped of it's 32 nutrients and vitamins so they can package and sell these vitamins individually for consumer use. Because of the Food and Drug industry consumers for years have been buying our vitamins individually to better our health mean while the Food and Drug industry has been profiting billions in their industry by stripping "natural salt" of isn't nutrients. Most all our daily nutrients are in Natural Salt and is completely healthy for us. Who would have known? The things industries get away with for a buck! |

| Everyone knows that you should avoid salt, right? Because salt can cause high blood pressure.

| Looking back on my life,I have never been a lover of candy type sweet things nor salt laden processed foods.Have only eaten home-prepared meals and fresh foods(not because I was told it was right or wrong) but because that's what I like best and at around 80 yrs I am still the weight I was at age 20. |
