I've always enjoyed salty things. I don't really like sweet sugary things. If I have snacks. It's something salty. I cook with a lot of salt. I learned to cook better from my chef roommate. Restaurant food is full of salt. I don't use iodized salt though, which wasn't mentioned in this article. It would be interesting to see some health comparisons between diets high in iodized salt vs non-iodized salt. I also think high sodium processed food vs high salt homecooked food should be looked at. I feel like general industrial food processing.probably has a higher impact on heart disease and high blood pressure than salt does.

For all the salt I eat, i've never had problems with blood pressure or anything. It's always been at a good level and I come from a family with a history of heart disease and tend to be fairly stressed out a lot.
