Yes, it is said that to much salt is not good for our health. But I prefer a bit more salt. Actually, there are many cusines in China and some of which use many salt and other ingredients like hot pepper etc. How to say, they're delicious and people like to eat them.

I too love salty food. Salt is the taste of my life. :) But is the source of what you read trustable. Because I have never come across this fact in my whole life, that salt is bad for health. Can someone throw some more light on this?

Salt is the very source of kidney stone formation. Too much intake of salt is too bad not only for your kidney but it also make you hypertensive that leads to coronary disease.

I like both salty and sweet I don't seem to like anything in between or extreme so the ratio has to be correct not too much and not too little :)

Hi Zelmarq! I'm a sweet person. But there are days that I really crave for something salty. I often satisfy that craving with chips which is bad for the body. ^^ We require a certain amount of salt in our body and too much of that requirement is really bad. So we need to watch our salt intake especially in older people.

I love salty foods. I love Lays, salt flavor, pringles, and other chips, I love french fries, and other salty foods. I also dried fish but sometimes it is too salty for my taste. Yes, it is bad for our health, it can cause us some kidney problems.

Eating a lot of salt will surely effect you body. Eating a lot of items containing salt will unbalanced you body. SO it is very important that, to have balanced food. Am i right ?
