    NaCl isn’t bad for you. It’s like anything- in moderation it’s fine. You actually need salts of various kinds to be healthy (including NaCl)

      The way i have learned that the ratio of natrium and kalium is a more important factor than the actual amount(in reasonable amounts). At least in my country that has led to popularity of table salt that has had about 30-60% of it’s NaCl replaced with KCl.

      Yes, I guess I mean weaning off excess salt. I feel now that too much salt deadens your taste buds so that moderately salted food seems bland.

        Yeah I never add salt to my food, it’s either got salt in it already or doesn’t need it as far as I’m concerned- don’t need another vice to have to wean off in my 50s.
