You eat too much cum and have been desensitized to the flavor of salt. Try not being a flaming homo for a month then try comparing salted vs non-salted food again and report back OP.

you can easily remove all salt from your ressipies and home ccooking and you'll still get enough salt in your diet.

growing up we weren't even allowed salt in the house but if you do the math you get enough salt totally passively anyway

fun fax: I drink way too mucch beer, wine, and booze nowadays so I have to actually add salt to my food because I piss all my salt away from the booze

Salt is an important electrolyte so do w/e lol

It's almost certainly safe since you will get your salt from other sources.
That being said, you absolutely should be able to taste differences between properly salted food and not properly salted food.
A really big one is homemade stock. If you make it it will taste really good, but if you add salt it will taste absolutely amazing. The difference that just salt makes is insane.

Most things (veggies, meats, etc.) contain a bit of salt and some foods like cheese, bacon and cured meats contain a lot of salt.

Unless you're drinking 3 liters of water per day you shouldn't have to worry about salt.

op will not respond

op is a piece of shit

Yes, it's safe because there is massive amounts of salt in whatever foods you buy normally unless you go out of your way to get special low salt versions.
Hyponatremia (dangerously low sodium levels) is almost always due to mentally ill people drinking way too much water (like 3 liters or more), not by eating too little salt.

I think you can go without safely. I'll have your share anon. I'm addicted. I take blood pressure pills just to be able to gorge myself on salt.

>3 liters of water
Is 3 liters of water somehow considered a lot?
Isn't 2-3 liters recommended amount for adult?

>>18287185
That's a normal amount actually..how much are you drinking per day anon?

>>18287024
Just exercise and salt will never be an issue. Healthy eaters who exercise might not get enough salt. When I’m in race phase and do 5ks every other day I’m having a spoonful of salt at night to stay up on electrolytes.
If you’re a fat fuck, lay off salt, yeah.

No, that's not how much water you're supposed to drink. That's literal mental illness.
>Polydipsia is defined as fluid intake of more than 3 liters per day, and psychogenic polydipsia is characterized by a volitional intake of excess fluid due to an underlying psychiatric disorder. Psychogenic polydipsia affects 6%–20% of persons with psychiatric disorders (1).

Also causes protein to leak out your kidneys.

>Drinking two liters of water per day may not benefit most individuals and even could be harmful, investigators say.
>The large population-based study uncovered a five-fold higher risk of proteinuria among people with polyuria than among those with normal urine volume, even after taking into account such factors as age, sex, and estimated glomerular filtration rate.

The idea you're supposed to drink that much water came from a misreading of a US Food and Nutrition Board recommendation.
>A suitable allowance of water for adults is 2.5 litres daily in most instances. An ordinary standard for diverse persons is 1 millilitre for each calorie of food. Most of this quantity is contained in prepared foods. If the last, crucial sentence is ignored, the statement could be interpreted as instruction to drink eight glasses of water a day.

Salt is an essential nutrient whether you want it to be or not.

>>18288737
Nobody claims salt isn't an essential nutrient.
The argument is that you get tons of salt in your diet without even trying because you live in a developed nation in the 21st century. You don't need to seek it out to meet your RDA. It's in almost everything you'll buy from a grocery store.
