55 Rampant Health Myths That Need to Die

Myth: You shouldn’t salt your food

‘High sodium can contribute to high blood pressure, but it’s not because of sprinkling table salt on foods. Only 5 percent of the sodium in the American diet comes from salt added at the table, and 5 percent comes from salt added during cooking. The majority of hidden sodium comes from packaged and processed foods and dining out.

Other big offenders are condiments and flavor enhancers such as ketchup, mustard, and soy sauce that are packed with salt. Over time, high blood pressure can cause heart disease, stroke and kidney failure.’ – Dara Huang, MD, nephrologist and Founder of New York Culinary Medicine
