I actually reduced salt by using other spices
- BeetleB 9y agoI'm having trouble seeing your point. Your earlier comment said: >They sniffed and said the low salt movement has been very well marketed but what they don't tell you is the "shit" they put in to food to replace the salt - which is actually worse than salt This sounds like he/she is against salt alternatives. And then you go and say: >I actually reduced salt by using other spices Which is what a number of salt alternatives do. So are low salt alternatives good or bad?
- walshemj 9y agoer no it was chemicals they add to lo salt foods to replace nacl - not using more pepper and other spices which is standard advice for chronic renal failure patients
- BeetleB 9y agoI have no idea what the usual advice is to chronic renal failure patients. I do know there are easy to find salt alternatives out there that do not have chemicals and do replace salt with other spices. (Some are low salt, and not no salt). As in, you can find them in your grocery store. And most people who are on a low salt diet are not renal failure patients. They are people with hypertension. So er yes a number of salt alternatives out there are just fine. And er yes a number of them are pretty bad for you. And statements like "salt alternative products are bad for you because they replace salt with chemicals" are inaccurate.
