Let's talk about em. Soy sauces and the likes welcome too.
>>21755903Salt is salt and there's not a lot to discuss here. I don't need colored salts. Kosher works for just about everything.
Is MSG a salt?
>>21755910Yes. That would be the monosodium part of the mclocule. It's not as salty as table salt but it does impart some saltiness. >>21755907tastelet.
>>21755903I'll stick with my industrial table salt thanks, enjoy your goider!
>>21755907Let’s talk about salts babyLet’s talk about you and meLet’s talk about all the good thingsAnd the bad thingsThat salt-ing may bring
I use kosher mostly, good for pinching, I keep a little 2 oz. bowl of it next to the stove. I'd be down to try the lava salt though, that sounds interesting.
>>21755910steak tastes better with msg. i then finish it with sea salt at the very end, after slicing. and i use regular iodized salt on fries. the best one is the ultra-fine packets they give out for free at in-n-out.
>>21755903Sea salt is toxic from manmade pollutants.Try mined salt from ancient inland oceans.But all salts are bad for you and only used on low quality meat.
>>21756234
>>217559031.Mosho2.Trapani3.Norwegian4.Maldon5.Camargue6.Coarse grey sea saltIn that order. Cutfags and rock munchers need not apply.
The people who cook almost never say Himalayan pink salt, if you notice. Sea or water-mined salts always have the best flavor.>>21756301>all water saltsI'll have to keep a stock of a couple of these.
>>21755903>No Persian Bluepleb
>>21755903You mean sodium chloride?
>>21755903>saltshttps://youtu.be/RJh9yTIBY48?si=60r-4hBxQHnIb8cJhe usually does chemistry videos but this one is all about different salt and how they taste
>>21755903I carry Maldon smoked salt with me to restaurants.
>>21756252>But all salts are bad for youI mean you will die if you don't eat it.
What's the difference between salt salt and salt substitutes that are shilled for blood pressure? Is there a taste difference? How do they affect other salt behaviors eg drawing water out of a foodstuff? Is there an application where they would be preferred to real salt?
>>21757097>Salt increases blood pressureThis is a myth.
>>21757097KCl (Potassium Chloride) tastes weird
>>21757101>/pol/ and /x/ existNot the question being asked, but thanks.
>>21757118Just go and fucking taste some yourself, why are you asking this on a mongolian basket weaving forums.
>>21757120>Salts>Let's talk about 'em.>Soy sauces and the likes welcome too.That's the thread. If you can't follow the rules, maybe just don't post?
>>21757097The only salt substitute I'm used to is ammonium chloride which is what's used in Salmiakki instead of salt. It's tasty but there is an ammonia aftertaste on it which maybe isn't so great if you're going for something savory. That said, if salt is really so bad, why do hospitals immediately hook you into into big saline bags when you're sick?
>>21757097i like potassium chloride, its great to sprinkle on food but has a kinda metallic faintly bitter aftertaste if you dissolve it in quantity to season a soup, sauce, stock or whatever like you would salt. i use kosher salt to season food, and KCl as table or finishing salt.
>>21755903Salt is salt (NaCl). I don't like sea salt because over decades, nuclear waste, including reactors and bombs, microplastics from India, polyfluorinated alkyl substances, and a whole lot of other crap have been dumped into the sea. If you want pure salt, use rock salt. I also don't like kosher salt because it reminds me of Jews. Back then, there were people who developed goiters because they didn't consume enough iodine, mostly inland and not on the coasts. Then iodized salt was introduced. The iodine deficiency disappeared. But now all these colored Himalayan "Jewish" salts are coming. Ten times the price, no iodine, and the iodine deficiency is returning. That's a fact. Salt also has no effect on blood pressure; otherwise, the Chinese would all have exploded by now. MSG is a different topic, and I think you can partially replace salt with it.
i like 50/50 natrium and potassium salt for free potassium gains, and maldon for plain vegetables or whatnot>>21757154the big saline bags are isotonic dumbo, unlike your salt doused goislop
>>21757154The idea of salt vs BP is ratio of salt to water in your blood's base saline. If your salt ratio goes too high, your blood draws in water from tissues to equalize the ratio, increasing the volume of blood. As you get older, or because of genetics or cholesterol build up, your blood vessels/heart loose the ability to expand/pump as readily to accomodate the short-term increase in volume and so pressure goes up until your body filters out the excess volume and releases or expels it. The body's ability to restore that balance effectively also deteriorates with age/genetics.So the salt's not the cause of HBP--it's the vessels' lack of ability to expand, but salt causes your BP to go up for a short while, just like caffeine; and if you're older/weaker, this short-term increase of BP is an issue.That's been the salt tale all along, true or otherwise. The saline they give you in hopsital is set to the proper ratio and controlled drip to maintain proper hydration, and wouldn't be an issue. Besides, if your BP goes up in hospitial, they'll just give you blood thinners to reduce it, maybe tranqulizers. They like administering drugs.
>>21757154Salt is perfectly fine as long as you're also hydrating yourself properly. The average person doesn't hydrate properly, so for them salt only further exacerbates their associated problems.That's really it.
>>21757229What does that mean?
>>21757352Your salt intake and water intake should be balanced with each other
>>21757493If yours is #1, but you urinate frequently, say evey 2 hours, is that a problem?
>>21757493This is fucking terrible adviceyou don't want to drink MULTIPLE glasses of water at onceYou want to drink water constantly, at a measured rate. Drinking a bunch and then nothing for a while leads to prostate issues.Extremely stupid fucking chartAlso, urea concentration can be higher or lower depending on the age, gender and diet of people, it is NOT a be-all-end-all chart. Temporary changes can happen too.
>>21757566Literally any questions about urination should be brought up with a doctor. There are too many factors at play - if you're worried, get a Urinalysis.
>>21757619It depends if you're dehydrated the more you drink at once the faster and more will absorbAssuming you have enough salt in your systemt.I work in Vegas pretty often and the first thing I do is go to Panda Express and drown everything in soy sauce, seriously, everyone do thisOr some other chinky vittles joint, what's important is that you pre-load on soy sauce specifically, it just worksI told my friends about this, they've all tried it, they all do this now, including my BIL who's a professional sports-better, so he's there at least once a month or so
>>21757175>and the iodine deficiency is returning.That was one of the things I was worried about when switching to these different "pure" mineral salts. I'm going to have to get some kind of Logol's solution to take daily, I think.
Fleur de sel is the king of salt but you poor fags wouldn’t know anything about that.
>>21757619>you don't want to drink MULTIPLE glasses of water at onceI do, but that's literally because of what the doc prescribed
>>21757860Literally in OP
>>21757860>a single salt is better than all other salt in all situations>because it's expensiveYou're an actual retard
>>21757175>the iodine deficiency is returning. That's a factThen source it
>>21755903I dont care if the colors or whatever are just because of other minerals 'contaminating' the salt. Pink himalayan salt literally tastes better as a salt. So I will used regular iodized salt for most things, water boiling, etc. But if its the final touches of salting some cooked chicken from 3 feet in the air or whatever, you better believe i am reaching for that himilayan pink salt.
>>21757154Saline solution matches what the body wants for salt to water ratio. When you drink water without electrolytes (salt) you are pulling electrolytes out of you. When you eat salt you are putting them in. You must stay in balance.It is much easier to keep that balance by drinking tea or gatoraid for instance, and is much better to hydrate with if you are hungover.Its pretty easy to ignore it when you are young and healthy but wait till you hit your 30s or mid 30s and you will appreciate tea way more.>>21757566Could be diabetes, get it checked out early>>21757658I dont understand you. You preload on soysauce to then drink tons of water?
>>21757619>Drinking a bunch and then nothing for a while leads to prostate issues.So this only affects men?
>>21759224Essentially, yes.
>>21758656>I dont understand you. You preload on soysauce to then drink tons of water?YepVegas dehydrates you like crazy no matter how much water you drink, without salt it just passes through youIt's not perfect but it helps because you can get water everywhere but you have to go to the CVS or Walmart for sports drinks and that's kind of a pain when you're there for work
>>21759599>he doesn't pack Gatorade pouches with him for the tripskill issue
>>21759611Dubs, I didn't know those existedStill gonna do my Panda Express ritual but good to know, thanks
>>21755903>No bolivian salt
Tamari soy sauce is far superior to other formulations.
>>21757493Nope. Too much salt and your body will retain too much water in places you don't want it, like your skin (edema).
