What I've Learned - 2017-09-19
Most people are taught to get less salt to be healthy, but for most cases *more* is likely safer. ▲Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/WILearned ▲Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeverettlearned ▲IG: https://www.instagram.com/jeverett.whativelearned/ Big thanks to Dr. James DiNicolantonio (@DrJamesDinic) for his very thorough, eye opening book: "The Salt Fix" : http://amzn.to/2fzaBRk Salt doesn't get too much attention nowadays as most people are taught that a low sodium diet is always going to be better than a high sodium diet, and that's all there is to it. However, the low salt advice that has become conventional wisdom doesn't pan out for several reasons. If you're interested in the history surrounding salt, check out Mark Kurlansky's "Salt: A World History" : http://amzn.to/2wF4FMk ★I plan to do more coverage on this topic soon. There's still a lot to be said about Salt, as far as how bodily systems react to having more or less salt and how other factors like potassium intake come into play. (You may have noticed in the portion where I talked about South Korean dietary trends, heart health increased with more Sodium *and* more [or ample] Potassium) For business inquiries: joseph.everett.wil@gmail.com
My blood pressure went higher and higher over the years until I was well into hypertensive (165/100) and all that time I was careful with salt and even for a whole year counting sodium and taking lisinopril trying to bring it down. Nothing really worked until I started intermittent fasting to lose weight and then reduced carbs and went to a sort of keto/paleo low carb diet. At the same time I massively increased salt intake, putting as much as I wanted on everything. Within weeks my blood pressure came down to around 135/80! More salt, lower blood pressure!
Too much salt in your diet increases the amount of calcium your kidneys must filter and significantly increases your risk of kidney stones.
Brother, it’s most likely has nothing to do with salt, but the food you are consuming. More carbs + salt = water retention. Now keep in mind that you were most likely overweight. Most people praise fad diets, and go hard in one variable in the equation. But all in all, you were most likely creating these issues due to excessive calorie intake over a prolonged period of time. That’s why most people report better health markers the more weight they drop, regardless of the diet. I always use the following analogy - “When you fill your gas tank up, and you hear the pump disengage; Do you continue to manually pump ⛽️?” The answer is most likely no, same should be for diet. For some reason people are confused why they have health issues while they constantly bombard their body with excessive caloric intake over a long period of time.
@GodzillaGoesGaga it is used for ages in China. I tested in Brazil, and it does work. Zero side effect.
I think Dr. Ray Peat said salt lowers adrenaline
@Colton I’ve been struggling with high blood pressure for a couple years and I’m only 18 years old. I thought it’s because I wasn’t in shape too, so I lost 30 lbs and started building muscle. Yes, on the outside I look very healthy and my body feels great. However my blood pressure has seen no change whatsoever. Still high.
my dad constantly demonizes salt and chastises me whenever he sees me dare to do as much as grind some salt onto my meal. my dad also:
-has heart problems
-has chronically low energy levels (sleeps all night and then 3 hours in the afternoon)
-frequently complains of headaches and general unwellness
all the while he still consumes sugary carb-laden garbage. strange world we live in
Emotions over facts. Your father was raised to prioritize emotions over reason.
@🌟 Wander the Nomad lmao my teacher is telling the us health advices for our health unit. I have heard her say many times how salt is unhealthy and like how so much food has salt which is unhealthy. Ironically, she looks out of shape and does not look healthy.
Your account is named after him
Same here! He says salt is poison while adding cups of sugar to his healthy fruit juice.
Animals will climb up cliff walls and walk miles for some salt to lick... Because it's unhealthy? No. Because it's NECESSARY for life!
INCREDIBLY strange world we live in...
This video saved my health, thank you. I have "geneticly inherited" hypertension. After watching this I read "the salt fix", stopped reducing salt and increassed potassium with supplements and food.
I have the lowest, NORMAL blood pressure results in my life since then. It's been a month already.
THANK YOU!
Awesome. Your testimony should get pinned and moved right to the top. Just curious: What potassium supplement did you take? Most of them are just 40 - 99 mg capsules, but Dr. Eric Berg sells one that has 1000 mg per serving married to other electrolytes.
@mrmeach1967 I live in Poland so I just take a generic, over the counter "potasium" pills, which are 4x80g/pill. But I take only half a dose (2 pills).
@Soki Spawn how are you now? Are you still on low salt? Or did it actually increase your pressure?
Interesting, and I think the video should've focused on this potassium thingy or other thing that benefit hypertension people instead only reducing salt
isn’t it incredible that our body makes us crave what we need?
Yh am craving a cigarette right now
@ram . yep youre right your body is deff f ed up by all food you ate .. it has no sense of content ..
@gmy33 I was just joking 😂😂😂😂
@ram . kinda knew it but felt obliged to answer serious becouse lots of people dont realise
Lite sleeper music all carbs or only sweet stuff?
As always, your expertly crafted videos, which so deftly debunk prevailing nutritional myths, are doing the world a whole lot good, and I really appreciate them.
yogiyoda First thing that popped into my head was Dr. Greger.. I recall watching a video of his on salt, but I forget the general conclusion. Regardless, focusing on reducing salt intake is a waste of time for the average person.. a lot of other choices in nutrition that are more fruitful.
But that is just not true. Believe what you want, but you should do yourself a favor and watch the Greger video people here talk about.
My mother was told to eat a low-salt diet; being a woman of unbelievable willpower, she cut her sodium intake to nearly zero....and she fainted. Fortunately, I was right there to help her. After that, she followed the low-salt advice, but less aggressively.
The best book to read is "The Salt Fix" by Dr. James DiNicolantonio. He is an actual research scientist.
YES, However, Who is he? is he a doctor or a scientist? He is a Youtube video maker. Don't believe everything you see online just because its in a video. I like his videos but I take them with a grain of salt.
I'm on a low carbohydrate diet, and I'm also working out. I have a very complete diet, but I didn't know why I was feeling thirsty at night, even dehydrated. This video made me realize that my sodium intake should be much higher. This has been extremely helpful. Thanks.
@il Desu why would he die
@Anatolii I wonder her eating salt helps with dehydration, it does the exact opposite
The lack of intelligence in these replies is astounding
If you work out and sweat a lot you do need more salt than the average person.
@Glacivee Studios please research what you wrote to find out that exactly the opposite is true. Don't comment if you don't know what you're talking about
How to be healthy:
1)read the fda guidelines
2)do the opposite
Ooof so true right now
The federal death administration is right
Except for hard drugs, right? black tar heroin is not gonna help me shed some pounds or feel better in general
This!
it's funny because there is some truth to that lol.
The sodium to potassium intake ratio is an important factor.
Sodium and potassium arent the only minerals that have a relationship. Look up the Mineral Wheel
I sprinkle two pinches of potassium chloride anytime I'm cooking. Haven't had a cramp in years.
He also fails to mention the lower sodium groups are way more obese and older than the higher sodium groups. What a fraud.
@S how do you know which group is older?
@science-y because sheep are safer in a herd. If you split off you’ll be taken out. Horrid analogy
About 45 years ago I worked in a mine. It was really hot. About 115 degrees every day. The company supplied salt tablets and encouraged us to take 4 or 5 throughout the day. We sweated profusely. Years later we are encouraged to reduce our salt intake. If I work out at the gym when it's really hot I feel really fatigued and just don't have the energy. One day I just happened to see a Youtube video on salt. I went out and bought a bag of himalayan salt. Throughout the day I will take a few pieces of salt and suck it till it's gone. Delicious and a bit addictive. But, guess what? My energy levels are back and hot weather doesn't make me feel weak and tired.
When I was a kid. I had a craving for salty fish sauce in my food. Everyone around me were worried that I had been consuming too much salt, and it finally convinced me to restrict salt intake. Nowadays, I feel fatigue easily and have a light headache most of the time. Thanks for the video. I will now try out to consume my favourite fish sauce as much as my tongue crave.
@Camellia Hyacinth I prefer Red Boat and Suchi sauces from Vietnam which are much better. Less additives, just salt and anchovies.
BTW, for those unfamiliar with the stuff fish sauce is made from anchovies
and used sparingly like Worcestershire sauce not poured on like a Hollandaise.
Soy sauce was developed as a cheaper vegetarian alternative. Worcestershire sauce is another variation on the idea.
@valvenator when I said 3 crabs it's because it's what I deem most available and therefore most likely to be in someone's kitchen. Not my personal preference.
I like red boat 40 but my personal favorite is Blis
@Camellia Hyacinth I have to buy mine off Amazon. The stores around here only carry the cheap watered down versions. Since Blis is barrel aged Red Boat I'm sure that takes it to another level. I've been meaning to give it a try though the price holds me back BUT I think you've talked me into it :)
@valvenator I also buy mine off Amazon, but I have to tell you that Blis is definitely worth every penny for it's unique smoky taste.
i also choose this man's fish sauce
Yep, this video says what I finally found out this year by chance:
Over the last 10 years I would constantly have problems with being tired, retaining water, constant thirst and problems concentrating.
Everyone around around me eat very little salt and it got stuck to skip it, the doctors would also always say that I need less salt... 3 months back stopped listening to them and all those problems are no more... just because I started eating more salt(well and stopped eating any store brought sweats, just those I make myself or home made jam).
Bottom line - eat more salt, eat fatty meats, fish, vegetables, fruits, if you can find unbleached flour you can eat as much bread as you want(artificial additives, sugar and chemicals used to bleach the flour are the reason it's so unhealthy).
I'm a scientist who never believed the "salt guidelines." When my body craves salt, I give it some. Besides, I know that if I eat too much of it, my kidneys will excrete it.
Before your kidneys excrete it do you know the effect it has on your body during that time.
@Baldwin Yes. More energy, better immunity and better heart.
I’ve often wondered about this. I used to have really low blood pressure and a low resting heart rate... at work I’d get really woozy sometimes so I’d down a packet of salt and feel better almost immediately.
Please research and make a video on oils because there is even bigger misunderstanding on which oils to cook on and which ones are unhealthy after certain temperatures.
Yes!
Well here's a quick guide from me: Vegetable oils (wich are anything but veggies anyway) are unhealthy because of high omega 6 content and they're harshly procceced (lost micronutrients and damaged fats). Avocado oil is kind of in the middle, both healthy and unhealthy (it has plenty of omega 3's but not many omega 6 but it's still harshly procceced so it loses some of the micronutrients). And then you have coconut oil, olive oil, butter and ghee wich are all healthy (Olive oil is procceced but very lightly so most of its micronutrients are fine)
@John Citizen :) I watched the new one and it is also very informative
@Logan Wolv how's evoo vs butter?
Aged like a fine cured cut
I love you man. Because of you I've realized I have had salt deficiency for nearly my entire life and always suffered every symptom described at @11:03. THANK YOU!
How u doing now bro?
Salt craving is just a survival mechanism driving us to consume what the body needs. Eye opening.
@Magic Chess and Chill no
@Magic Chess and Chill Sugar craving is different from salt craving... salt craving is purely for survival while sugar craving 99.99999999999999999999999% of the time is basically the same reason heroin and meth are addictive...sugar create a dopamine spike and afterwards you'll want that dopamine spike again, only this time you need more sugar to achive it and so on. I think our body made sugar addictive simply for us to gain fat and when we don't have food to eat during the cavemen days we burned fat, and the more fat we had, the longer we could go without glucose.
@Logan Wolv its because in nature the only things you can get sugar from are fruits and honey. They contain important antioxidants and vitamines. If the only place you get sugar from are fruits im sure that s a hell of a lot better.
@Yuib Kys Yeah because of that too. And i believe fruits used to have less sugar and perhaps more vitamins and minerals than todays' fruits because they were cross-bred or hybridized. I've noticed that my favorite apples are these small ones that can grow anywhere, even in cities during summer when they're not quite ripe... They're less sweet and more acidic, sour and flavourful wich is exactly how i like them.
@Logan Wolv a big reason people don't like fruit that much is also because they eat to much sugar. Their sensitivity for sugar becomes so low that can make fruit taste disgusting.
I don't feel as tried all the time like I used to. In part, I definitely get more regular sleep. But it also coincides with my embrace of my love for salty foods. My friend who is a nurse told me that I'll get a kidney stone one day four all the salt but I can't help it. I crave salt more than any other flavor and I don't want to stop.
This video makes so much sense to me. I used to be pretty much addicted to salt when I was a very active kid and was moving around 3+ hours a day with my friends. I was addicted to noodles at the time because I loved the taste of salt in them. But as I got less active, I started craving it less and the government said that more salt means worst so I thought that was good but when I tried fasting, having salt reduced my headache. I'm so glad you made this video, it makes all my experiences with salt makes sense.
I mean correlation doesn't mean causation. But I gather the fact that if you use your neurones and nerve cells, then yeah it makes sense to crave more. Perhaps the baby didn't get enough salt from the mother while in uterus, then the craving arose to catch up and allow the nervous system to get sufficient supply. Did you continue to be active after salt reduction? if so, for how long were able to keep active. I mean there are so many variables, but it would be interesting to find out if there is a link to salt consumption (a limit also) for perfect neuronal function.
Quick question, ever ate salty food and very quickly your body was caring for water? would you say that is an "over dose' and hence you need to consume water to wash it out. but I guess like with anything, hit the right balance....and the magic happens.
Yeah, they took away your zero calorie and electrolyte salt. And just told you to eat sugar.
Too much salt in your diet increases the amount of calcium your kidneys must filter and significantly increases your risk of kidney stones.
@Thomas Ponzo what's the magic that makes that happen? Last time I checked table salt is made of sodium and chlorine, not calcium 😑
Worry about chemicals, not salt.
He who controls the salt, controls the universe.
@Swamp Hawk dune? i swear that was a dr who reference!
@Swamp Hawk but he says "spices" which IS the dune reference when the original joke says salt.. therefore he must get the joke to make that leap.
Cute...

If Shrek says it, it's 100% true.
Shrek is life, shrek is love.
The korean paradox to me seems to have a rather easy explanation just by looking further down that table; coronary heart disease and stroke were very well correlated with obesity. I don’t know why the people who eat more salt tend to be less obese in korea (perhaps they replace kimchi with mcdonald’s?) but you can’t imply that the salt is reducing the risk of those and not even mention the confounder of obesity there.
Yeah but the study he mentioned on people with different salt intakes seems to suggest that a higher intake is preferable than the effects of low sodium intake, although I agree with you that even the study does show that eating more salt than needed has negative health effect too, I think that he is talking about WHO recommendation, which seems to be far worse for the body, inline with the papers show. Moreover is logical to think that obese people have more problems (because its true), and that asians are just healthier overall, but in another video he compares 2 communities of japanese people and explain that hypertension can be related to potassium deficiency.
humans like fat and salt. in a diet of low salt you crave more fat, making you weigh more
This same channel mentioned that during fasting, hunger cravings were satisfied by sodium intake.
Man, THANK YOU!
After watching your video I did some research and found that I have so sodium deficit.
I have all the simptomes: nausea, muscular cramps and spasms and drink almost twice as much water as anyone around me.
So I sincerely thank you.
I find that when I have a headache salt almost always fixes it. Salt also let's you drink more water and stay more hydrated. Too much water makes your cells burst but with the salt it regulates the cell size so you can retain more water.
Sodium also helps kidneys filter waste effectively.
I had daily migraines for 2 months, and realized that it was the fact that I was eating barely any salt. I started eating extra salt and the headaches stopped the next day. I was trying to stay hydrated but water would go right through me - this doesn't happen if I put a little salt in the water. The connection with cardiovascular problems + salt is more likely due to the types of food that have high sodium in modern US diets (sugary, fatty, etc.). I cant believe doctors were just going to have me keep taking more and more medications without asking me if I ate enough salt!
I am now trying to convince my chronically dehydrated mother to try more salt, and she is terrified it will raise her (already very low) blood pressure because of government messaging all her life.
You wanna investigate the solarized water is supposedly better with more nutrients
I went on a low salt diet for a couple of weeks, around 600mg daily. Felt like crap and craved sugary foods, even though I hardly ever eat refined sugar and didn't have a sugar addiction. I had barely any energy, felt weak, brain so foggy, and started drinking caffeine (I didn't drink caffeine previously) just so I could function (literally). All this while sticking to my real unprocessed food diet. Went back to putting generous amounts of salt on my food and suddenly started to feel alive. Cut out the caffeine and still had energy. I had refrained from my sugar cravings, but now with salt those sugar cravings subsided to nothing. They want us not to eat salt because they want us to be addicted to sugar and caffeine.
Story of origin:
In olden time of Rome, the warriors serving the empire were payed with a handful of salt each day. Later, the officers in charge of distributing salt started finding the transport and preservation (from rain etc.) of the huge bulk inefficient, hence, the reward of salt was replaced by a sum of money allowing each man to buy his own. The money thus received was referred to as their 'salarium' (Latin) or salt-money. The term salarium entered into English which modified to modern day salary!
The salt-money concept traveled to France where they paid the warriors with a special coin called 'sol', and the payment was known as 'solde' (also the payment of a sailor). It's no surprise the French call their soldiers, 'soldat'.
The origin of the term 'soldier' for a warrior or protector of the land is related indeed.
It is said to be derived from Old French 'Soudier', which in turn is derived from Medivial Latin 'soldarius'-- one working for pay. It is also said that the term is derived from the Old Latin word 'Solidus'-- a Roman Gold coin. It was called solidus for it was literally a solid coin.
@L F in Brazil we call it "soldado"
Cool
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Wait, French do say "soldat"? Wow, I guess it means that we share this word with them, Russians say "soldat" too lolol
In Brazil the salary of the Soldier (Soldado) is called "soldo"
Explains why salt is more effective than caffeine at keeping me awake during all nighters.
Hot Cheetos keep me awake during road trips more than any red bulls or coffee
@Matt Nguyen try just eating a habanero
Or spraying hot sauce in your eyes. It's a military technique to keep operating while sleep deprived
@What I've Learned so if someone has hypertension, would he benefit from increasing salt intake or not? Does salt increase blood pressure?
@terry tari ignorant
@Sean Francis Waters Lancaster Were the boy's Doctors ignorant too!
Thanks for this. Ive been eating essentially a whole food diet with very little sauces or packaged goods and simply havent thought about my salt intake until recently. I havent had any adverse affects besides over eating as my body was likely looking for more salt and confusing it for hunger.
Great videos just found this channel. Would be interested in seeing you create a video on alkaline ionized water conversation and the research done in Japan used as a medical device in hospitals. Does it really hydrate cells more efficiently, reduce blood viscosity, raise blood ph, detoxify , destroy free radicals etc?
As a young teenager I frequently felt light headed and had fainting spells. Someone suggested I eat more salt and since then I have been salting my food and taking a salt supplement on days that I am more symptomatic. I feel way better!
It means your blood pressure is too low
You wanna have a better salt though, use sea salt
I remember watching on Japanese TV some 15 years ago a doctor treating patients with hypertension with... salt. Not with regular table salt but sea salt (what the Japanese call salt with "nigari" ie bittern.) Since then that type of salt has been all the rage in Japan and all this time I've been consuming only sea salt. It's a bit pricier than table salt but hey, the one brand that I consume is like 3 US bucks a kilo (while the table salt is about a third for the same amount.) I'm pushing 50 but my blood pressure never got higher than 130/80. So it seems it's working, but that just my case...
It was great this year in medical school when the professor had to admit that lowering salt WAS NOT effective at lowering blood pressure significantly (only 2-4 mmHg).
Sugar, insulin havoc, inflammation. Those are the culprits.
@Futures low carb down under.
Also. Theu literally said ketosis. So do your research on ketosis
@GodzillaGoesGaga wow .. are you a doctor for diabetes trying to keep people in a diabetic state or what??
Please check out low carb down under.
You need a re-education cos what ur spewing is inflammatory diseases 101. Ciao
@K R Go and talk to Prof Robert Lustig or at least watch his very well prepared and laid out videos. He happens to be the foremost expert on glucose pathways and metabolic diseases.
@GodzillaGoesGaga does he talk up the diet methods to reverse diabetes like the Low Carb Down Under practitioners demonstrate?
Keto diet, carnivore diet..
@Bluejanis Ask pro vaxers why they are so reluctant to admit it too.
I specifically reduced my salt intake because I thought it was healthier. Turns out the opposite is true... Actually I'm happy that's the case since things taste better with more salt (as long as it's not too much).
I used to poor salt on my chips and when I was young and was constantly told that I was really unhealthy for it, that I could only handle it because I was a child and it would catch up to me some day. Now that I'm older I've been really trying to reduce my sodium intake, for a while I was struggling extremely but recently I've gotten my average down to like 1,700. Now I find this video. welp
This video to me seemed like the missing puzzle piece for why I feel so tired with my keto diet, I didn't change my salt intake since the start.
I felt really lethargic because of this mostly perhaps...
Started eating with more salt recently now I think about it and I do feel less tired all the time, but could've been from other things too though.
Oh wow. That explains why I had a day where I couldn't stop drinking water. I drank a whole gallon and was still thirsty. I have started working out so I probably didn't increase my salt to make up for the lost sweat.
what do u mean can u explain ?
@dd He's talking about electrolytes which salt is. If you drinks lots of water you essentially flush them away through your urine and sweat. You need those minerals to maintain bodily functions. So he basically up'd his water intake but didn't up his electrolyte. That imbalance caused him to be thirsty despite drinking lots of water. If you didn't know salt will pull water and hold it that's what basically happens inside of us and it's very important.
Very interesting, can you clarify which type of salt is the best one to intake? normal table salt, sea salt or pink salt... or even other types that I'm not aware of, their benefits and cons, that would be interesting to watch and learn as well :)
Table salt is usually stripped of minerals and has iodine artificially added to it due to the fact iodine will evaporate with water, which is why Celtic salt is iodine lacking.
'Pink salt' is Rock salt, it's not exposed to water and thus retains iodine along with all the other trace minerals.
I rarely add salt to my food especially when I already add butter which has salt. There were a few times when I had to get salt in my system because I felt so faint and my blood pressure drops. That happened about 3 times and I realized each time that I had not had any salt that day so I think about getting enough now
I remember when I was 14ish, I used to take a handful of salt frequently and lick it out of my hand.. my mom was understandably confused about it and eventually I stopped doing it. When I reflect about that nowadays, I realized the salt itself didn’t have a special taste, it was like my body was commanding me to consume salt like how it tells you to hydrate. I’m going to eat some extra salt and see how that makes me feel, I put some in my water today and I feel really awake. Curious to see long term effects.
While I do consume salt, I only eat whole foods so all salt that I eat I add to my food. This leaves me at quite a low intake. I am very interested in salt, especially the history of it. Great video as always.
Thank you! I was cutting down salt on my food to such as extent that i didnt like eating any more.This video is one of the very few pieces of information in favor of salt consumption and doesnt go around making it the life threatening villain. We all understand that NOTHING should be consumed in excess,be it salt or any food but i found the world just too salty about salt consumption. What is food with out salt? :') Cant wait for the next part. (y)
What Ive noticed is that when I got hard headaches and I eat salty food I feel better
El Axel I’ve noticed this too. I’ve had a few migraines that quickly went away after eating a few saltines.
I've found my headaches were due to low salt levels and drinking lots to try and clear my head. Of course drinking more water with low salt levels only made it worse.
Amazing videos packed with so much useful information. I also love the fact that they are backed up with scientific studies which we can follow up on. Great job. 👍👍👍
Well researched and ahead of government recommendations as always! Great content.
Another interesting thing about salt that you might want to know. Studies have shown that our ability to excrete salt is significantly better after fasting. This might be an indication that our modern diets (where we eat something every few hours) is messing up with our bodies ability to excrete salt. Which leads us to yet another argument of why eating every few hours probably isnt the most natural/greatest thing to do.
I dont actually have the studies and hand, but im sure you can find something usefull on pubmed or google or whereever.
Love the videos. You always seem to be one step ahead of me on my reading. I added The Salt Fix to my wishlist on Audible, then a week later I see you uploaded this video. I love it. Keep doing what you do man
Thank you very much for uploading more incredibly interesting videos. If only our teachers were as clear and resilient as you are, the 'modern' world would be a better place to live in. Cheers m8
Brilliantly explained. Love the use of research studies to confirm your findings. One of the best health channels on YT. You deserve way more subs.
The fact that you manage to make your videos so entertaining, on top of being so informative, is amazing.
Keep up the good work!
Lil Lu I see what you did there
BornAgain Pagan bruh you're at a 10, we need you at a 2
Emily Owen
Yeah but seriously his videos are the essence of misinformation.
@Veegaan Myooon
Why?
I have liver issues, and my ankles almost swelled up just watching the first half of this video. I must have around 1,500 mg per day or it could be life-threatening. I used to be a salt-o-holic, and I challenge anyone to keep it under 1,500 per day. It's brutal. So, this video doesn't pertain to everyone, in this case ME.
what type of salt do you consume? u might be deficient in potassium and or magnesium
What I've Learned - 2017-09-28
I keep seeing comments asking "How is 2300mg of Salt = 5.75g????"
What I'm saying in the video is "2300mg of Sodium ≈ 5.75g of Salt " - if there's a part where I mistakenly said 2300mg of Salt = 5.75g of Salt, someone please comment so I can add an annotation!
firenu - 2021-11-03
I’d watch a video comparing macronutrients in korean vs american average diet. Should compare intake of salt(with added iodine?), fermented foods, omega6-to-omega3 ratio (what types of fat), glycemic index of meals, number of additives, types of sugar(corn syrup or sugar cane), and probably many other things I don’t know about yet :D btw keep making videos on this topic, they are great
Margaret Gerger - 2022-01-03
@Igor Starinskij Salt has sodium in it. Salt is not completely sodium.
MuddyBubble - 2022-04-07
Salt is not fully made of sodium. Table salt (NaCl) is an ionic bond consisting of the metal sodium and the nonmetal chlorine. So not all of the weight from salt is from sodium
ted william - 2022-05-08
You use alot of studies and data from institutions and agencies that are now known to be enemies of the people. Their agenda is not to make us healthy but to keep us ill.
Ziggy Z - 2022-05-24
Sodium chloride is composed of NaCl. They have similar molar weights. Therefore a gram of salt is 1/2 gram of sodium element. It gets even weirder with baking soda.
