Same could be said about salt — and salt really seems to be way worse. It is everywhere (but you can avoid it if you cook your own food and take care of what you put in it). It's quite an addiction too, as one can feel food to be tasteless when not using it (because we end up using it in excess everywhere). I wonder how abundance of almost everything we want (foods, variety, condiments and abuse) will affect our (my) generation when we're old…

Large amounts of sodium are bad for you, of course, but it doesn't fill you with cheap energy and mild euphoria.

  Ahhh but if you offset that with cans of diet cola you they will reduce that excess sodium. Salt+soda balanced diets work. Also don't forget a little fat, milk before a meal will also actualy reduce the amount of food you absorb. Whilst were on about eating more then reducing your vitimin D by avoiding sunlight will effect the vitimin C's ability to take on and absorb foods. But a adict can argue anything, even a salt, sugar caffine, never going out addict :-). Rule of thumb everything is bad for you, some take larger amounts than others so in that everything in moderation works best. Also worth noting that if you work in a very hot enviroment were you sweat alot then as well as water salt tablets are required, signs of low sodium are headaches, aches, and flu like sympton feeling and generaly feeling shit, too much salt may be bad for you in general in the longterm but not enough can be more detremental.

> salt really seems to be way worse Citation? From what I understand, salt can be harmful for people who already have high blood pressure, but there isn't any real proof that salt is harmful for people with normal blood pressure. Evidence seems to be strongly accumulating that sugar/carbs are very unhealthy. For salt (in people with normal blood pressure), there isn't actually convincing evidence, from what I'm aware. And there are real risks associated with eating too little salt.
