Japanese cuisine is incredibly high in salt, the Japanese enjoy very high longevity and low obesity rates. Pretty sure salt is only a problem when someone already has a bunch of other health issues.

Not only is salt not a problem, it's a problem when you're deficient in it.

Not sure that anyone cares, but it annoys me when people say that salt is bad.

Processed carbohydrates and consuming meat from sick animals, that is a problem. Too much salt just adds to the problem or "pours salt in the wound" when you are doing the other two. 

There are only two things I can't stand in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

Some serious racial undertones in this post.

Doesn't eating so much seafood offset the salt intake?  For example fish in itself is healthy for you, but they serve it with soy sauce.

I don't know about offset, but traditional Japanese diet is very healthy, and the seafood certainly contributes. Some of the typical basic ingredients like soy sauce, mirin, dashi etc. are high in sodium and part of pretty much any meal. I'm no nutritionist, but I'd bet the average Japanese person has reached the FDA recommended daily teaspoon of salt by lunchtime. ;) 

While we're talking of nutritional enemies: Japanese cuisine is low in fat, red meat, and dairy products but relatively high in carbs. French cuisine is high in fat, red meat, and dairy products. Both countries consume ample amounts of alcohol. Both countries enjoy long lifespans. I think the bottom line is as simple as: Don't eat a ton of processed shit, and don't eat massive portions. (Also eat fish and veggies.)

Yep. Eat real food (mostly plants) and avoid stuff that is sold with more than two/three ingredients if you can.

By salt, in case anyone didn't already know, I'm talking about real salt.  Not table salt, which is bleached and has a ton of nasty chemicals.

Am I the only one who uses Redmond Real Salt?

Potassium chloride is "real salt".   You should eat a handful of that.

Don't take above comment seriously.  I am not responsible for stupid people who eat "real salt".

Why would you eat fertilizer?

What you can eat and can't eat seems to change every couple of years.  I think the best advice is there is no bad food, just bad quantities.

That's not true.  Nobody has ever said that something like Cheetos are good for you.  Also, it's the establishment who keeps changing their views.  Principles based people, like the paleors, have been very consistent in their message.  It's no different than politics.

Eh. The stuff that's added to table salt is pretty harmless. In many regions of the world, you definitely want iodized salt. Iodine deficiency is no fun.

Unless Cheetos are all you have to eat, in which case Cheetos are very good for you.

That's why they added iodine to salt in the US.  Around WW1, there were a lot of men with iodine deficiency.  However, you can get iodine from other foods.  Seafood, sea and green vegetables, potatoes, and eggs are good sources.
