Then my fantasy was exhausted. I can't imagine what this is about. Something from that story about sodium in bones, from where it can gradually come out. Like something harmful there will stand out. Dear readers, I don’t think that by starving you will remove toxins from yourself. From hunger, your body will fall apart and digest itself. More toxins will be added.
Sodium, as far as I know, does not bind toxins, but binds water. In this case, the concentration of the rest of the chemistry is likely to increase. It is very important for the taste of the product.
People love salty foods because the sodium from salt not only adds a salty flavor, but also enhances the natural flavor of the product. Haven't you heard of that?
Well, that is, if you take a glass of tea and pour four tablespoons of sugar into it, the tea will be sweet. And if you pour only two tablespoons of sugar into a glass of tea, then such tea may not seem very sweet to someone.
And now watch the thought - if you pour the same two tablespoons of sugar, but already on half a glass of boiling water, then this tea will again become decently sweet. Got it? The sugar concentration increased not because you added sugar, but because you took out the water. That is, if you remove half of the water from a glass of sweet tea, the tea will become sweeter.
A similar effect works with salty foods. Salt pulls on water and reduces its activity. We sorted it out in the subject about home preservation. If the activity of water decreases, then this water cannot go anywhere and cannot dilute anything. Therefore, the concentration of not only sugar, but also any flavors increases. So the salt makes the taste of the product richer. That's why they love salt.
Heard nothing about toxins and salt. Rather, the same principle will work - if the salt pulls water on itself, then the concentration of toxins in the remaining water will increase. It won't make you feel better.
When a person is poisoned, then he is offered not to eat salt, but to drink water. To quickly dilute the poison.
Does salt make your products taste better?
