It's been a problem for decades. A lot of medical guidelines and 'science' are in reality quite iffy. The standard of medical science is mostly terrible. Most of the NHS's dietary advice seems to fall into this category.

Nor is very high salt intake healthy and that's what most people are
consuming.

Not really either. Yes if you down a load of salt your BP rises in a
short spike. So it does if you go to the gym.

There are options to a gym.

Instead of driving to the gym and paying good money to use their running
machines you could run to the gym.



Irrelevant
My point is that exercise spikes BP. So does salt. Why not tell people
not to exercise?

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such
time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

Point taken! I love my salty spicy chips, to hell with the salt naysayers !!

Most food seems to taste of too much salt which masks the true taste of
many ingredients.

Before the lockdown, staff at my local fish and chip shop thought it
strange that I never wanted salt or vinegar on my take away. In common
with a lot of similar establishment the amount of salt sprinkled on a
single portion of chips possibly exceeds the WHO annual consumption
recommendations.

Because of health reasons my mother never cooked with salt and never put
any on her food. I was brought up under this regime and 60 years later I
still do not add salt to any food. Obviously a lot of processed food is
smothered in the stuff and unfortunately I often find that the
overriding taste is this salt. It's a lot worse in many restaurants
where the cooks seem to think a unit of a pinch is a handful, and as can
be seen with many celebrity cooks on TV shows.

The problem is that too many people are addicted to the taste of salt
and any food without it tastes strange to them. I find that I can enjoy
the true taste of many ingredients without salt but when its added in
"common quantities" during cooking or afterwards it all starts to taste
the same. Could this be why a lot of people think things are bland
because there is no variation in the taste of the salt in what is on
their plates?

I do occasionally enjoy a very spicy meal but not necessarily being
stupidly chilli hot.

The problem is the notion that eating low salt is healthy. It's not.

Easy to claim.

I never had anything like that.

and 60 years later I still do not add salt to any food.

I dont anymore, but I used to, even to coffee
as a flavour enhancer and to steaks etc.

Obviously a lot of processed food is smothered in the stuff and

I dont get that effect even tho I dont add salt myself anymore.

It's a lot worse in many restaurants where the cooks seem to think a unit

I dont get that effect either.

and as can be seen with many celebrity cooks on TV shows.

Yeah, my dad was like that, used to use lots of it.

and any food without it tastes strange to them.

Or just less desirable, anyway.

Yeah, I can too.

but when its added in "common quantities" during cooking or afterwards it
all starts to taste the same.

I do find most commercial beer too bland now
that I brew my own, but thats likely a different
effect given that no salt is involved.

I do occasionally enjoy a very spicy meal
but not necessarily being stupidly chilli hot.

I do like stupidly chilli hot and my own tomato
and chilli relish is deliberately very hot and I dont
like the commercial relish, too bland for me even
now I dont add any salt at all.

I do get quite a bit of salt, particularly in the multigrain
breadmix that I noticed the other day has quite a bit of
salt in it, by looking at the ingredients breakdown, not
by taste. And quite a bit of what I eat is stuff you just
roast in a digital air fryer and add potatoes and veg
too which presumably has salt added.
