sodium is not bad. it is just something you have to use properly to reap the benefits, such as marijuana.

Sorry blood_drinker - Poor analogy and poor taste I might add. When was the last time you sprinkled marijuana on your potatoes or bought a container of Morton marijuana at the supermarket? Hey, its illegal for a reason bud, and unless you are using it for true medical purpose, which 99% of drug-users do not, doesn't mean you can try and justifty it as a good thing where many can "reap its benefits." Gimme a break! Some of us are drug free. Moderator or no moderator, marijuana has no place on this board and you know it!
Well, sidestepping the AMERICAN legal issues (please note that neither myself or blood_drinker or many other visitors to this board live in such an archaic political system) I will merely reaffirm Natural One's point that Sodium is not bad for you. Sodium BALANCE is what you body reponds to so if you have a high sodium intake then you need to BALANCE it with enough potassium (and other minerals).

I think the only generality you can make about sodium is that it will make you retain water. As far as it's effect on blood pressure, it will affect different people in different ways, like just about any other food or supplement available.
Personally, I tend to go high on the sodium with seasonings and such to add flavor to a mostly chicken and fish diet. But I've never had bp or cholesterol problems. While I know people who virtually remove sodium from their diet (to the extent that that is actually possible) and still cannot get to what doctors consider acceptable levels. So I'd only worry about it if you have existing high bp or cholesterol levels.
One more thing for MarkF, Are you for real? Dude, you should look into killing that bug up your ass if you're gonna stay on this board without getting your little panties in an uproar. I suggest a lengthy bong hit.

Well, perhaps I did take it seriously, but, "dude", I find it rather hypocritical that one of the many goals of this board is to preach and advise on fitness and good health yet someone has a momentary gray-matter lapse and compares table salt to an illegal drug which has been proven to be CNS detrimental (not to mention the addictive properties) by science and other professionals with far more education and clinical experience than the majority of us on this board.
Furthermore, if I wanted to read or discuss illegal and/or detrimental drugs, I would start posting on the ANABOLIC section. Aside from that, it waa the poorest analogy I've ever come across and saw it as one big atypical response from someone who normally conveys educated thoughts in his posts. He wasn't even in the ballpark on ths one, "dude".
This board about fitness and good health ?!!?? HAHAHAHA. This board is about getting huge and ripped. For many people they don't care what the long term cost of achieving this goal is. This is not my personal goal, but clearly a priority for most folks that visit here. I will re-emphasize that marijuana is not illegal in most parts of the world so please don't go preaching about "legality" and imply any moral meaning. Anabolic steriods are not illegal in most parts of the world either. We are all entitled to our personal opinions, but at the end of the day, sodium, marijuana, AS or anything else you put in your body should be used in moderation and with a modicum of education. No such thing as "good" or "bad".
One more time....it comes down to balance.

Well now you got me going. My point was it was a poor analogy and with a little more cerebral dedication from somone seemingly with this capability, a better one could have been presented. Table salt??? Gimme a friggin break!!!
Drugs are dangerous period and if people think they can introduce moderation with drugs like they can with table salt then they are in for a big surprise. On the legal issue, number of countries implementing illegality has absolutley nothing to do with these dangers. Drug illegality is implemented to say to people, "Hey you morons, these drugs are dangerous (Duh???) to you and society" (I know there are other things out there that are just as dangerous but Governmental Hypocrisy doesn't justify making illeagl drugs legal). What do people think there is a conspiracy going on?
Its no secret that most of the people who oppose the illegality issue do so because they want to use - period. Sure, they try and hide behind that "Good for that economy crap" or "Medical Reason (which some are valid btw) crap" but their facade is quite transparent. When was the last time you head someone say "You know, this drug should be legal because I dont' want to go to jail when I use."
To further illustrate my point, I've never known anyone who supports their kids in taking drugs even in your countries where they are legal. Does Mommy and Daddy (willingly for you Eastern Europeans) introduce Marijuana to Johnny, Julio, Svetlana or Inga at age 8, 10, 12 Am I gonna say to my son at age 18 when he's fully developed, "Sorry son, you should have picked your parents more wisely. But to make you feel better, here's some Dianbol to compensate for that mediocre DNA you got stuck with." Why Not? Because everyone deep down inside knows about their inherent dangers.
One more time - moderate use of marijuna is far more dangerous in soooooo many different ways than the moderate use of Table Salt whether people want to admit this or not.
Hey, I told you you got me going.

A poor analogy? I'll write this big and slow for you....
IT WAS A JOKE!!!
Are you at all familiar with the concept? You're obviously a bright guy. Is there a sense of humor incorporated in all that acumen. . . . . . . "dude"?
Levity is a key ingredient around here "dude". Brush up on it. If you don't, the cool guys won't like you.
