Salt...now with 30% less sodium

[MikeH]

I haven't actually needed to buy any salt for about 7 years.

[Az]

Seriously, KCl is good for you.

[Dis]

I never add salt either. If the food isn't good enough tasting without salt, I shouldn't be eating it. That's my theory.

GODDAMMIT DONNY, WOULD YOU DIE ALREADY?!?!

[MattH]

OOOoookay... Moving right along...

Maybe there is 30% less NA+ ions and propoartionally more CL- ions.

[Dis]

yes but something has to take its place. You can't have free ions floating around in a non-liquid state. This is why KCl is the best explanation.

[Provost Harrison]

Yeah, I never sprinkle anything with salt, as Mike said, there is enough as it is, actually way too much...

Either re-phrase it, or re-think it.

It could be MSG!

rats! You anticapted my response. I was going to say it is easy you just have to be under water.

there's "free" iron in steel...

Well, it seems to me that if salt is half sodium and half chlorine, then 30% less sodium would mean that there's a good deal of unbonded chlorine just lying around in the package. And since unbonded chlorine is, IIRC, a highly poisonous gas, if I were you I'd stay away from that brand, or at least open it in a highly ventilated area with a gas mask on.

You can't have unbonded chlorine outside of solution. It forms diatomic chlorine, which is the poisonous gas.

That will get you to cut down on your salt intake. :gasmask:

[Kuciwalker]

That should be a smily.
