Student Questions(taken from the article) Shaking out the Facts about Salt Besides adding “saltiness” to the taste food, what two other positive effects does salt have on the taste of food? OK, if salt makes food taste good, why is it bad for us? How effective is reducing sodium intake in alleviating the problem described in question 2, above? Current guidelines recommend a daily dietary intake of sodium from salt at 2300 mg. How’s that working out for us? What makes sodium so reactive? Do the facts from studies support the dietary guidelines recommendation to use less salt? Explain. Describe one potential medical problem associated with a low-sodium diet. What role do electrolytes like sodium play in the body? Describe osmolarity. Why does reduced sodium in the body contribute to dehydration? Why do we need to continually replenish our supply of salt in the body? Name the three major sources of sodium intake in U.S. citizens. Identify the largest source. Since there are scientific and medical advocates both for a low daily sodium intake (1500-2300 mg) and a high daily sodium intake (up to 6,000 mg), what path should the average person choose?
