#2My uncle eats ZERO salt. I think it's cool if he manages to do that, but for me that is unachievable.

Sodium is required for normal muscle function, so zero salt can’t be good.

I stopped adding salt in my cooking when I had to cook for a young baby. Pleasantly surprised to find I didn't miss it much, and pretty soon my tastebuds reset and when I eat out everything tastes wayyy too salty.

Same here.
A can of peas already has half the required daily intake and in terms of salt content it's on the low side.
I also crave meat much less now - apparently it was about the salt all this time.

I hope he consumes very large amounts of milk, beets, carrots etc. which have some sodium in them. Or at least some processed foods...
> I think it's cool
Maybe, but it's definitely not the brightest idea one can come up with.

#9> Salt isn’t important in baking.
Anyone who believes that has never had Tuscan bread, which has zero salt. https://www.theflorentine.net/2018/09/14/tuscan-bread-backst... Locals in Tuscany insist you don't need salt in the bread because it's eaten with other salty foods. But it's remarkably bland and bad tasting. And rightly mocked in other parts of Italy who have much better bread.

What is the point of that? Sodium is vital for your body so he is just risking hyponatremia for no good reason. Plus the body is really good at getting rid of excess sodium.
