Yayaya! I don't add salt in my food when I cook anymore, and food tastes sooooooo pure. Mmm 😀
One topic I disagree on. I also did no salt and used lemon as a replacement for about 5 months, it was a terrible experience . the day I added a pinch of sea salt into my meal, it tasted SO much bette. also when you sweat you lose a lot of sodium so in countries like mine where it is absolutely boiling all the time and people are doing lots of labour, salt is used to replenish. you can get hyponatremia which can become dangerous – I had it. a little pinch of salt isn't going to hurt you at all. also yes natural foods have sodium but it's barely enough when you are sweating all the time
sea salt is fine, table salt what we shouldn't be eating
More incomplete information from Greger. Totally agree about the poor quality, refined table salt added to foods and especially the processed rubbish. Agree with the takeaway rubbish too – with excess refined salt added. Agree with using herbs and spices to flavour real food. The problem? Himalayan salt, celtic salt are good salts. What about people who intermittent fast for extended periods? What about exercising hard each day? What about folks using IR saunas daily? Healthy people also drink much water…. often with a bit of lemon and ginger. Green tea is healthy. The result? Expelling toxins via their urine…. along with minerals. Lost electrolytes are a real issue and for many HEALTHY people, good quality salts are actually lacking in their diet! In my opinion, Greger also severely underrates the importance of healthy fats/oils/saturated fats and all in all, I'd be very sick if I listened to much of his info.
The salt you eat is the salt you wear!
Got salt?
I love salted oatmeal thoughhhh
I havent had salt in over a year! I feel awesome!
Thank you, daddy.
on cronometer .com my sodium level often says i get around 33% of my recommend daily allowance should i add 1/4 tbsp to get it closer to 100% bit confused ?
I love you, dr. Michael Greger! You have truly changed my life and also my whole family's life. Thank you.
Salt is not bad.
It's true that when you do not add salt you will eventually be able to taste more, I experienced this. It actually makes food taste better once you are off the salt. There are a lot of flavors that salt overpowers.
I understand salt is bad for you but I can't give it up. I tried to eat some meals with no salt and it's just terrible. It makes me no longer enjoy eating healthy food. Salt is my only savior that I can rely on when the food tastes bland. I avoid animal foods, oils and sugar and eat as less processed as possible but salt….salt is basically my only guilty pleasure left. So basically, what's the point? I feel like giving up salt it's just not worth it. I think I eat healthy enough so that I can "afford" so to speak to include salt every now and then, right? Surely I am still way more healthy than people who don't care about health and eat whatever processed food they come across.
Dr. Greger would do well to reference Jeff Novick's work more often. Jeff is a nutritional genius.
Im salty af if ya know what i mean ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°),
What about the salt intake for athletes?
I use Himalayan Pink sea salt liberally during cooking and at the dinner table. I almost can't get enough salt. Why? Because the body REQUIRES salt to produce hydrochloric acid to keep your stomach acid strong to break down proteins. That's just one benefit of salt. How about all the other essential trace minerals in salt? This guy, once again, is spreading misinformation in my humble opinion.
But… Peanut butter isn't the same without salt
I'm running into a raft of "new vegans" who are all touting how great (and even healthy?) the fake meats and processed vegan foods are. I tell them don't eat or recommend that stuff. Any short term gains for "saving animals" are compensated by human health loss, higher $$$ cost and the hypocrisy of owning up to fake foods and big agribiz, which do take more oil and energy to produce, and pollute more than simple, whole plant foods.
I can definitely attest to this. I used to use quite a bit of salt, then stopped, and now I can hardly eat my mother's cooking as she always adds (what seems to me like) a ton of salt.
I have been in the same state regarding sweetness during traveling (greatly reducing sweet foods and drinks), and upon returning home found the sweet things I used to have, too sweet.
It's something you need to maintain, though; you can get used to the sweetness/saltiness again.
I never add salt to anything. I don't even think we own table salt but I do have tortillas that have salt in them and I use Annie's ketchup which has some salt. I also really love braggs liquid aminos. are these things better replacements for adding salt to my food?
But I love salt
1 Chipotle burrito contains about 2300mg of sodium…
And what about pink himalaya salt?? It supposed to be so healthy with so many good minerals … This is what I read lately 🙁
Kinda missed an opportunity to expose how bad the normal table salt is to the body compared to natural sea salt/ Himalayan rock salt. If you want to keep adding a bit of salt to your body DON'T use table salt. Throw that shit away. Only the natural stuff has any benefit and use to your body.
Is there a substitute ?
What about iodine? Its' pretty much the only reason I add a little salt to some foods.
You're dictating my dinner choice tonight, one sentence @ a time.
"Smoke flavor" is mentionned in this video; what's the verdict on that!? Aren't some of those bottles a little dodgy???
That was totally me today haha I added salt to my pinto beans while I was cooking it, and then I stored them away for dinner later on. I took out and prepared my beans and added more salt before even tasting them like an idiot. Now I wish I didn't. So I just added more rice to my plate and less beans for sodium balance ^_^
Can sodium deficencie occurs if you eat whole foods without adding salt ?
I saw some sodium free salt today at the store. None know what that's about?
Just based on my own experiences, if ur diet is clean enough, salt isn't going to kill u. My gramma & gramps ate a traditional Korean diet all their life (rice 3x/day, veggies seasoned/pickled/cooked/fermented with loads of salt), very little animal products and they lived to 94 & 90 respectively. But I'd imagine that wouldn't have been possible if they ate a diet high in fat and meat.
I had to commend you on the pun. Sodium good.
If you are getting too much sodium in your diet, you can balance and diminish the harm by increasing potassium
eat more plants to balance the extra salt
It's time to end the war on salt.
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/its-time-to-end-the-war-on-salt/
If one doesn't eat any animal seafood, no iodized salt additionally, how would you keep from getting goiter, without taking iodide pills? Seaweed? How unnatural or pharmaceutical does this have to be considering health?
I feel like you're telling me to cut back on the salt… 😉
I don't have HBP. Pass the chips!
GREAT VIDEO!
i just don't see why SALT its unhealthy.. I think the main reason it is bad is because it is always over used in BAD foods (pilsburry pizza pops??lol eww) but adding salt to a vegetable soup?? definitely not harmful..
Himalayen, Celtic, Icelandic, Black lava, AKA rock/crystal/natural salts are perfectly safe for human consumption. Its just those white/processed/table salts that are extremely bad for us similar to white sugar. 1/4 – 1/2 a tsp a day gives the body most if not all the minerals it needs.
THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE between refined table salt (a sort of poison) and mineral dense salts like sea salt and himalaya salt. In Europe we use high quality salt traditionally as a medicine for people and animals.
is rock salt good in appropriate quantities?
Salt is a scapegoat and the sycophants are rabble rousing.
I've been adding fairly little salt to my food in the first place, but more recently I've been adding even less salt to my food. Now if I eat out or buy something like bread that often contains a lot of salt, it often ends up being too salty for my taste. That's the main reason I eat a lot less bread than I used to. For a while I baked my own, but the oven I have right now unfortunately isn't great for that. I'll be moving very soon though and I hope to pick it up again from there.
Thank you, Dr. Greger for the simple tip of how to determine if the mgs of sodium are at a good range for the food item. This is information that I can and will use. A stroke of genius!
Thank you!
hmm. this tasty cereal of mine here has: 55g serving size, 190 calories, and 170 mg sodium. (starts eating anyway)
How do you guys measure salt anyway if you're using whole foods? how much mg is one table spoon of normal salt?
Love your channel!
One has almost got to roll the eyes with this. Who is going to eat veggies without proper seasoning and a little fat I may add? They are almost unpalatable otherwise. That's why this sort of diet isn't going to go very far.
I have neuro cardiogenic syncope and my cardiologist advised I eat more salt (and drink more water) D:
So that's why I never understood why people add salt to almost every recipe; I don't add salt to anything, so my taste for sodium is probably more acute. Makes sense. It's good to know taste sensitivity can be regained as well.
I've been vegan and I have noticed in cronometer I never get the 600 a day
So I am going to kill these bags of tortilla chips and then do my best. I know its not the wisest choice but cant waste food right?
Always seems to go back to the processed food. I don't cook with much salt and try to keep processed foods to a minimum and it seems to keep my sodium intake under control.
I've been salt free for several months. Also good salt replacements are dulse flakes, kelp granules and a product called Table Tasty. Table Tasty gives even a reformed salt addict like myself pleasure and there is no sodium, just all natural ingredients. It's the best product I've found so far to replace salt. After a month you really can taste the natural sodium in foods. Spinach and celery are very salty veggies. Never noticed it until I let the salt go.
…but i hate my food if i don't salt it 🙁
Good video …. Love this channel . Thanks
I want to cut back on salt and plantbased fats. I want it to be easy and natural. I want my food to taste fabulous without them.
"Studies actually show that the effects of sodium may follow a J-shaped curve. Too little and too much are both harmful, the sweet spot is somewhere in between": http://jama.jamanetwork.com/mobile/article.aspx?articleid=1105553
Smoke flavoring?! But what about the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in that stuff?
I did not get the evidence that salt is bad at all – anyone?
WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT…..I'm confused. I thought there was a problem with people not getting enough IODINE b/c everyone's been eating sea salt which isn't iodized. I just watched Dr. Greger's video on that and went out to buy a container of iodized salt. I don't eat processed foods (or very little) and don't eat out much, so I'm hoping this video is more for the standard person who has a high sodium intake..and not for me. Because otherwise, I am confused as hell 🙁
ah! i needed this. i'm the person who always adds salt, but nooo. i've been cutting down, i can definitely do better though! thank you for this! ^_^
What would you recommend for someone with low aldosterone? I wish I didn't need to add salt, but I'd be in the floor if I didn't.
Fuck we should just all eat corrugated cardboard at this point. According to Gregor practically everything that tastes good is bad for you!
Thankfully those that eat a strict plant based vegan diet only live a measly 7 years longer on average compared to someone that eat's whatever they want (assuming that they do not die from some other cause) according to Gregor!
I think that a balance must be struck between eating healthy and eating foods that taste amazing that have healthy sea or Himalayan pink salt, healthy cold pressed oils, and possibly sugar in them .
There's a reason that we crave sugar, sat, and healthy oils and even meat.
I think the depression and dissatisfaction caused from not eating what your body tells you to and craves will take a bigger toll on ones overall health than the benefits that might come from say not adding salt, oil, and/or sugar to your food.
what about iodine?
Doesn't a lot of salt get flushed out if you drink lots of water?
I eat about 10lbs of sweet potatoes per day which contain more then 2000mg of sodium naturally!
I am on a low carb ketogenic vegan diet and my blood pressure gets way too low if I cut back on salt. I start feeling faint and I have to grab a cup of veggie broth. I eat predominantly whole vegetables foods and make sure to have adequate magnesium and potassium. ACV water and lemon water are regular parts of my day. I eat lots of leafy greens, avocados, olives, flax seed, pumpkin seeds, small amounts of nuts, non starchy vegetables, nutritional yeast, sprouted tofu in veggie broth, great quality coconut oil and olive oil, coconut cream, and a very minor amount of stevia. No processed crap, only berries, lemons, limes for fruit. I only add salt to my salads in the form of pink Himalayan salt. My BP today was 75/50 and my resting pulse was way too high at 98. I started this a month ago in an effort to get rid of my plantar fasciitis and it is working. Pain levels down from a 9 to a 1, but not completely alleviated. I eat some cooked veggies too like asparagus and lots of cauliflower and broccoli. My heart rate is way too fast though. It has been even when I was a high carb vegan and a more processed, higher protein vegan. I am a 50 year old woman, weight 154. 5'7". Super active, but not cardiac active. My old BP readings were around 100/70. Pulse 73….
UP YOUR POTASSIUM if you like salt. It's all about balance! 5:1 ratio potassium to sodium. One banana doesn't cut it either. You need around 4700mg potassium each day and you can have some salt. Good quality salt, lots of healthy veggies too. Avocados are great, beet greens are highest in potassium, but who eats those? Acorn squash, kidney beans, and potatoes are good too. Look it up.
Why would salt be bad for you if you eat 0 processed foods…?
Bread and cheese are two very rich sources of sodium in the American diet….two of the main staples in America! People don't realize if the drop the sodium out of their diets they will see huge changes within just a few days or a week. Most people will lose quickly 10 lbs of retained fluid by doing so.
I highly recommend watching the salt experiment if you haven't seen it yet. Its a real eye opener.
what i hate about this is, that sodium is in everything, and tons of it! in one can of soup there is 1,300 mg of fucking sodium! The daily limit is 2,500 mgs. Being healthy is impossible. is there a way to lose sodium that you ate?
I eat salt alone all the time
I think i'm gonna kill myself trying to follow all those health recommendations. See ya all in next life!
Just make sure you get enough iodine from an alternative source.
no mention of the beneficial effect of calcium in reducing blood pressure.
There is a video entitled: Dangers of Salt-Free Diets.
Is it true salt can contain aluminium as an additive?
Salt intake has not changed in America in 40-50 years, yet hypertension has risen dramatically. Why is salt the demon? Salt is necessary for life! Natural sea salts are much better than the processed sodium in processed foods. 😀
But if you're hiking all day or several days and sweating a bucket, you definitely need more salt.
one of the hardest addictions to shake, but also one of the most rewarding!
Seems there is a lot of research that shows that low salt is bad for health. It increases lipid production and reduces insulin sensitivity. The optimum salt intake seems to be at 5 grams of sodium per day. But there is more to sodium than just how much of it you eat.
It seems to me the reason low salt is the advice is because people don't eat enough potassium. But in stead of suggesting to eat more whole food plants, they suggest to lower salt intake.
Interestingly, for people on high carb low fat 100% plant based diets, there is a bit of another problem. Higher sodium intake results in the kidneys removing more sodium as well, and with that, calcium goes out as well. And on a high carb low fat plant based diet, you consume about 50% less calcium. Which would suggest reducing sodium intake is better. Potasium intake on 100% wfpb diets is usually not a problem, unless you don't eat a lot of vegetables.
Another thing is that on a low carb high fat diet, the kidneys naturally get rid of more sodium. Also, on low carb high fat, sodium intake is lower because carbs tend to be combined with salt a lot. Low carb means low sodium as well, unless you add extra salt to your food.
So what is the conclusion of all this?… Salt consumption can't be quantified in a healthy number. It depends big time on your whole diet.
Either way, looking at this information, a focus on potassium intake should be more important than a focus on sodium intake.
It depends on the salt you use. Don’t use process salt. Your body needs salt.
I'm not actually a fan of added salt. It doesn't taste right.
Everybody has bind spots. Dr. Greger is no exception.
Avoiding salt is not necessary, if you are eating a whole food, plant based diet.
By avoiding salt, Americans have lowered their iodine intake by about 50 percent.
The healthiest, longest lived people in the world (Okinawans who eat their
traditional diet) eat seaweed at EVERY MEAL and are estimated to get
200,000 mcg of iodine every day of their adult lives.
Dr David Brownstein is my iodine (and salt) hero. Here is a presentation he gave in 2011:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ku2lylX13h4
I've been 100% whole food plant based for 22 years, with reduced salt (sodium chloride) for half that time, then almost no salt for the last 11. My BP is 110/70, I feel great, look 20 years younger, and eliminated a host of skin, energy, congestion and allergy issues and avoided inflammatory diseases that my parents had such as arthritis.
Videos like this confirm my healthier choice of low salt intake, but adds confusion by interchanging the terms "salt", "sodium", "sodium chloride" when these 3 terms are completely different in their nature/health consequences. I cannot tell what I'm doing to my arteries and blood if I add salt to my recipes or recommend the healthiest meal plan for someone.
T or F: "Sodium" is an essential mineral found in nearly all whole plant foods.
T or F: "Sodium chloride" is the crystallized form of natural "sodium".
T or F: "Salt" is another name for "sodium chloride" , NOT to be confused with "sodium".
T or F: A WFPB diet with a wide variety of sodium-rich foods will provide enough sodium with NO added sodium chloride (salt).
T or F: The same WFPB diet with over 1000 mg daily of added sodium chloride (salt) can lead to health problems.
Dr. Greger…I'm sure the public will greatly appreciate eliminating confusion on these basic definitions and impacts.
Thank you for making the world a healthier place with this vital information.

Wouldn't eating a low sodium, high potassium diet contribute to hyperkalemia, especially since people who eat whole food, plant based diets tend to exercise more, which contributes to exercise induced hyperkalemia. By virtue of a low sodium diet, the body is placed in a hyperkalemic state.
thou shall not salt lol
I have found that the taste buds do change and become more sensitive.
what about athletes? I want to try cutting of salt but I'm working out nearly every day
I think its not bad to add salt in cooking as long as have water
I tried eliminating added salt for two weeks and it made me weak…I couldn't even do half the pushups I normally do. I added salt back in and what do you know…my strength came back.
the reason people add salt to food before tasting it is pretty simple- you know from past experience you like salt on your broccoli, so when you cook broccoli, you don't need to taste it to see if you need salt on it- you know what it's going to be without the salt, and you know that you like salt on it.
One must remember to add celery juice to a whole food plant based to avoid any serious complications by salt deprivation
