I still use salt, but where it becomes a problem is in the form of sodium and the very high levels that are in our processed foods. Take canned soups for example....often they will have 600-900 or more milligrams of sodium per serving and the manufacturer will say that there are 2.5 servings in a can! That is just way too much for the body.<br />If you are making most of your own meals and staying away from processed foods for the most part, then you should be okay. The salt we get from the salt shaker is really not the problem. <br />A lot of the public is addicted to the salty and fatty chips, cookies and so on, and just consumes way too much of these additives. <br />I still recommend Moss's book just to understand how these food companies think, market and manipulate, but if you aren't consuming processed foods, you wouldn't absolutely have to read it.<br />I get through a lot of these types of books as audio books from my library; I can just listen in the car and get through them little by little.<br />I hope this helps! Good for you for working so hard on your health. You are worth it!<br />SueSue in Ohiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251631095972013039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782859547055395383.post-13719273045038365452013-08-20T08:13:28.656-07:002013-08-20T08:13:28.656-07:00Thanks a lot for writing.

I simply hate food without salt. <br />Do you think I should read Moss's book to have a real incentive to go for it?<br />Concerning oil in the beginning I didn't feel the need to omit it at all (I am underweight). But as The Healthy Librarian recorded her Esselstyn trial and told about more energy I thought I could manage and give it a try. It took me quote a while to understand that even disregarding weight oil is exactely not health promoting stuff.<br />To give up salt I would need really good and convincing arguments!<br />I have changed a lot for the better in the past several years but have still quite a long way to go!<br />Silvia on the way in GermanyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
