Commentary: Our grandfathers and great-grandfathers calcined salt in a frying pan, while the chlorine evaporated. The salt was calcined with rye flour, and it turned into ash - the salt was enriched with lye. Dried spices such as parsley, celery, nettle, etc. can be added. But you need to know when to stop. It is true that salt retains moisture in the body. No wonder the ancestors always had pickles on the table. Salt was not a sin.
My answer: If the chlorine evaporated, what was left?
Comment: The formula of the salt is sodium chlorine. What's left?
My answer: Sodium?
Commentary: It is difficult to judge the harm of salt to the human body, but as a child I observed the following. In the village where I was sent on vacation, the shepherd drove the flock from the meadows every evening. A boulder of rock salt lay in one of the streets. So each cow came up and licked him. Of course, you will say that a cow is an unreasonable animal, but something in her body moved in the direction of salt consumption.
My answer: I saw a lot of dogs as a child and saw them eat cocoa. Do we need to eat some cocoa too?
Question: And what Japanese scientists say is that salt destroys cancer cells by breaking down into sodium and chlorine, which destroys cancer cells and encourages the body itself to get involved in work recovery. And even if salt is so harmful, why is it given to animals, even wild ones?
My answer: The decomposition of salt into sodium and chlorine occurs during the process of its dissolution in water. That is, it is already disintegrated and absorbed.
To what extent is it harmful? Both animals and people need it.
Comment: In healthy people, salt does not affect blood pressure! And, here, in patients it affects, but not the salt itself, but the water retained by it! The body tries to maintain the salt concentration at a certain level. If there is more of it, then there is a thirst for dilution and maintenance at this level! And then the tissues are saturated with moisture, which causes squeezing of blood vessels and, accordingly, an increase in pressure! Therefore, at high pressure, first of all, diuretic and pressure-lowering (vasodilating) drugs are administered! Here's a simple explanation from a non-doctor! In this case, it is worth paying attention to the work of the kidneys, the disease of which (urolithiasis) is very conducive to an increase in pressure!
My answer: Nice explanation. The tissues are saturated with water and squeeze the vessels. Why can't blood vessels swell with water and squeeze tissues?
Q: Well, I think people do not eat salt because of the sodium, but simply because of the taste. Who thinks about sodium?
My answer: People are sensitive to sodium deficiency. They don't think, they want. Sometimes the body fails and instead of, for example, iron, people begin to eat earth or icicles. It's easier with sodium. It is always found in salt.
Question: 2000 ml. how much is this?
My answer: This is two liters.
Commentary: From personal experience: those who eat salt, apart from grams, do not suffer from excess pressure, and vice versa ...
My answer: It is logical. Our people begin to count only after their stroke grunts.
Commentary: Georgy Olegovich, send a link to scientific research. Otherwise, you are deliberately lying to your readers.
My answer: You forgot to add "please".
Q: I'm terribly sorry, but kidney stones aren't they lactic acid crystals? What does sodium have to do with it?
My answer: No, not lactic acid crystals.
Comment: Salt is needed for the synthesis of gastric juice, which is based on hydrochloric acid HCl (the formula for NaCl salt, i.e. salt contains the necessary chlorine for hydrochloric acid in the stomach). Volatile chlorine compounds are also present in the blood (they play an important role in blood disinfection), but due to their instability, these compounds are not detected by laboratory tests.
My answer: volatile chlorine compounds in the blood? Not detected? And how did you find out about them if they are not found?
Question: What about table salt with added potassium chloride?
My answer: It happens. There is no sense in it. Potassium chloride is bitter.
Question: If, with an excess of salt, calcium begins to come out with urine, then from what then are kidney stones?
My answer: From this calcium and stones. Out with urine - this means that he came out of the kidneys, but does not mean that he went out into the toilet.
Commentary: Ah, I was thinking in the toilet.
My answer is no. There are still many different urinary tracts between the toilet and the kidneys. There the stones are formed.
