MODERATORS
I use a lot of citric acid and MSG in my cooking but I don't see why that should be bad
MSG got a bad rep it didn't deserve. Table salt on the other hand ... I've had to wean myself off NaCl because it's bad for blood pressure. MSG makes food delicious and causes no harm. Umami mmm.
NaCl isn't bad for you. It's like anything- in moderation it's fine. You actually need salts of various kinds to be healthy (including NaCl)
The way i have learned that the ratio of natrium and kalium is a more important factor than the actual amount(in reasonable amounts). At least in my country that has led to popularity of table salt that has had about 30-60% of it's NaCl replaced with KCl.
Yes, I guess I mean weaning off excess salt. I feel now that too much salt deadens your taste buds so that moderately salted food seems bland.
Yeah I never add salt to my food, it's either got salt in it already or doesn't need it as far as I'm concerned- don't need another vice to have to wean off in my 50s.
