Is Salt Bad for ME??? (Hidden Research) 2024
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Is salt bad for me, or you? This question has plagued doctors and patients since the 1960's, even though the answer is very clear. You won't believe the research that has been used to recommend how much salt you should eat!
Salt tastes great, and we all love it. Are we silly salt addicts who just can't control ourselves, or are we supposed to eat salt daily for proper function and health? Is salt something our body needs, or a poison that we should avoid as much as possible? This important question needs to be answered.
Does the amount and type of salt we eat matter? Should we buy the cheapest salt we can find, and then eat the least amount of it we can? Or, should we buy a quality salt, and then eat it whenever we want it? These are the questions I address in this video.

Dr. Jan Staessen, head of the Research Unit on Hypertension, University of Leuven - Belgium, “The evidence relating blood pressure to salt intake does not translate into an increased risk of incident hypertension in people consuming a usual salt diet.”
Dr. Andrew Mente, of McMaster, University in Canada “We found that regardless of whether people have high blood pressure, low-sodium intake is related to more heart attacks, strokes and deaths compared to average intake,”
Chris Kresser, M.S., L.Ac. - " The amount of conflicting research that exists on salt is astounding. Hundreds of studies have been conducted on salt intake, and a consistent pattern has never been established for sodium’s role in a variety of negative health outcomes. At a minimum, it seems absurd that so much time, energy, and money is spent on trying to reduce the amount of salt that Americans eat, considering how weak the evidence is on this issue."

![NITRATES in Processed Meat? [Enjoy your Bacon!]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/8Ygs2j0v0sU/mqdefault.jpg)
I was at a company Christmas dinner last night and out of ten people at the table, I was the only one to use the salt or pepper. I got a lecture from three people about salting my meal too much. Wish I had seen this video just one day earlier. My whole family craves salt and have always used it liberally. My mom lived to age 92 and was the biggest users of salt ever! Thank you for validating that my use of salt is okay! You are my hero!
My family lectures me about salt too but they use the same amount themselves..
Salt is definitely required for a long healthy life!
I carry Himalayan pink salt in my purse. Big crystals. I take about 3/4 tsp at a time, on the tongue, and then take a few sips of black coffee or something. People think I'm nuts. They are the ones behind the times on salt.
Yes! My Great Aunt lived to be 101.5 years old, and we always teased her about her copious salt usage! Since starting KETO this year, I have upped my salt intake and feel so much better. My favorite is the gray, coarse Celtic Sea Salt. 👍
When your sodium is too low it's called hyponatremia. Hyponatremia is dangerous and can kill you.
In fact, my mom is 82 years old and has been going 5 minute long intervals on a recumbent exercise bike 6 times a day. She pedals between 60 RPM and around 85 RPM depending on how she feels. During this cardio exercise her heart rate varies from 113 to 135 beats per minute.
When her sodium and potassium levels are low her heart rate is up to 15 beats per minute faster while she's pedaling 10 RPM slower. She can do 2 or 3 intervals with consistent results, then consume about 3 cups of water with 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon of LoSalt, which is 40% sodium chloride and 60% potassium chloride with a touch of magnesium chloride and the next time on the machine she is easily pedaling 10 RPM faster with a heart rate 15 beats per minute slower.
This dose lasts her 2 to 3 days before her heart rate increases again and she needs another dose. This is very consistent, as it happens exactly the same again and again. This is therefor NOT anecdotal evidence. This is a valid repeatable scientific experiment. My mother has a body which consistently eliminates too much sodium resulting in her experiencing lower than normal blood pressure and lower than normal blood volume which results in a higher resting and exercising heart rate. Consuming extra sodium and potassium resolves the issue for a few days. She also tries to put LoSalt on everything she eats, but that's not enough.
It's time to indict the correct edible white crystal. Salt is not the enemy, sugar is...
Amen!
Hillary erased the servers with truth about salt on them, but we will spread the truth! Make salt great again!
Hey Doc Berry, you are soooo appreciated! Thank you for the straight talk! My family looks at me like I'm looney tunes, because I'll walk into the kitchen, grab the salt shaker and toss a couple of shakes into my hand and down it! It tastes so good! We only use the mineral enriched pink Himalayan type.
So. Here's part of my daily intake: in about 24oz of water, i put 3 tbl spoons of Apple Cider vinegar, 3 tbl spoons of Organic Lemon juice, 1/2 tsp of Pink Himalayan salt & 1/2 tsp of Cream of Tartar because it's high in potassium. It's like a lemonade. Try it!
Thanks again, and
keep up the great work, Dr. Berry!!!
I agree. There are even custom salt licks and salt formulated specifically based on the wild and domesticated breeds and geology. I also want to say there are custom formulation for desired traits... though I am going out on a limb educated guessing on that one. Amazing however to think animals get better personalized treatment for their health than humans in some cases.
Why does the RDA not have higher potassium compared to sodium intake recommendation? Did you happen to have a reference to this?
I'll try to read into more... though I totally plan my low sodium or regular iodized salt intake based on my activity level for the day in the morning and throughout the day. More sodium more stimulated, more potassium more depressed. Amazing how those minerals work like that along with the others like Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc and the biochemical choline.
I found that out when fasting after removing carbs from my system and going more mild to moderate ketogenic. I was amazed how the carbs were like stimulants and then to find how sodium was like a stimulant also and later choline... though I test with and seem to notice choline with inositol lately stimulating also.
I should add on top of the minerals, choline and inositol that the other B Vitamins have interesting stimulating effects and depressing effects... though that is like amino acids, lipids and more detailed discussion of carbos that I can go on for a while writing about. Thanks Dr. Berry!
The 4 people that disliked this video are a little salty.

Dr Berry you are the salt of the earth.
Excellent video !

My dad is 79. He has salted soy sauce every meal. As an Asian, he enjoys salted egg & fish.
His dermatologist & nephrologist just recently declared that he's no longer needed to see them for appointments. Thanks Dr KB for verifying this!
I’ve decreased my high blood pressure by being keto not less salt
kittycat0876 Me too! 🙌🌟🌟
Me too! 😊
You look like an angel tonight with that picture behind you. Lol
62 pounds lost, because of you. Thank you.
Don’t sell yourself short
I was very ill for a long time, while following doctors recommendations. When they told me it would only get worse no matter what i did I said ok and started doing the opposite of what they said. Turned it around completely in two years. Meat, salt, water.Don't doctors take an oath to do no harm? How many people have suffered much and died hard because they followed advice from somebody that is held up as an expert. Keep putting out your stuff Dr. Berry. Thanks
Gordon Redwood I’ve been saying this too! They took an oath but they are still harming patients. It’s sickening !
They aren't doing this intentionally to be malicious. They simply don't know. Doctors get very little nutrition training unless they are actually keeping up on the recent science on their own.
Gordon Redwood To master one’s mind and body, you must unlearn everything you have learned. Plasma is coming, very soon there have been electric discharges all over earth rapidly increasing since Christmas when the sun dipped south(which it has never done) In a normal year the sun heads back north on Christmas after holding the same position for 3 days. Mia’s New Pair of Glasses and BrianAustinLambert33’s channels will teach you the truth. The plasma in our blood and the plasma up above is no mere coincidence. I hope you hear this Gordon along with Doc Ken this is a reset the last one was in the early 1800’s. Our population number of 7.7 billion(so they say) using the doubling rate the numbers will also show you the truth. Mud floods and plasma electricity, recurring catastrophes that is our true history that the controllers hide from the masses. God bless.
@@mrsombrero5408 My previous doctor told me to heft a potato and a bagel - that it was obvious I would gain more weight from eating a potato than a bagel! Smile and nod, Mike, smile and nod.
Love it. Do the opposite! Ha. Me too.
Ive told my family for years that theres times when i actually crave salt and they have made fun of me and told me that i was crazy. Ive had spells where my vision was a little “off” (for lack of a better term) and i put a little salt in the palm of my hand and licked it off. It was an instinctual thing and it cleared up my vision within a few minutes.
Many years later my mother had the same thing happen with her vision. I told her what i tried that fixed it, she tried it, and it worked for her also. I never had it checked out to determine what the root cause was, but my instinct was to get some salt in my system and it worked.
My mother gets ocular migraines with prisms in her vision. Is this the eye condition you speak of?
redhotz21
Mine was like a tunnel vision. Fairly clear vision straight ahead and kinda blurry around the edges. It did usually come with a headache.
redhotz21 Ugh, I’ve had a history with these migraines. 1-3 times a year. None on Keto yet (abt 9 months on Keto).
In the last 3 weeks, after watching your video on SALT...I have increased my salt intake to my diet, which I had almost made ‘SALT FREE’, I am AMAZED at the improvements, in such a short time , to every aspect of my skin, mood, creativity, muscle aches and pains and stiffness etc
I have experienced a MAJOR CHANGE to the better of all aspects of body and mind .!! Thank you for being brave enough to tell the truth on SALT.!
What salt was it you used?
You should cover iodine.
realizedvisions +1 on this. I’ve been taking 20mg Lugols iodine for months and it has straightened out a lot of problems, especially with energy levels
I knew about all the lies, but they still had me terrified to eat salt for the longest time; even months after I had started keto. Once I upped my salt, my blood pressure actually went down enough to stop taking their pills.
KETO Diamond, can you please tell me, the first time that you increased your salt intake, did your pressure went higher than usual?
Thank you and God bless.
@@skinnydee1886 It did and it scared me, but I had also went to the doctor I was dehydrated. I up-ed by fluid intake and it decreased rather fast. I also found out that my blood pressure is more stress reactive than diet reactive, so when I get stressed it will go up.
@Nature Crafts White Coat Syndrome?
@Nature Crafts lol Sounds like you had a great reason to have a blood pressure spike. I wouldn't worry about it, plus honey it's your right to refuse any medical services you don't want. Honestly I will never have a mammogram unless I find something odd. My doctor still gets so annoyed when I refuse flu shots and my son refuses fluoride drops for my grandson, but we have to live our lives the best way we know how.
@@KETODiamond
Thank you for responding so quickly. Ok I'll eat normal salt like my family and if it goes up very high then I'll take a pressure pill. It's only 6 months since I've been using pink Himalayan salt, before I was using the Celtic Sea salt.
It has been 5 months since my blood pressure got high, and I went to the emergency room; I spent 6 hours there; blood tests etc was taken and the doctor said that my heart and everything is normal, but my blood pressure is high 146/95. He said you can go home now, and see your family doctor in the morning.
I went to my family doctor the next day and he prescribed Avapro pills 150 mg for me, after a few days he cut my dosage in half, because my pressure was getting too low; am now taking 75 mg, on alternate days, with the advice of my doctor, because most days my pressure is low.
Sometimes my pressure gets as low as 89/58 and 95/68. Other times it gets as high as 139/90 and 145/95; only twice a week it gets high like this, although I'm consuming less salt.
I'm 63 year old woman, 5' 4" tall and weighed 115 lbs, but since 4 months now I'm on a low-carb low-fat diet, and lost 15 lbs. I'm now down to only 100 lbs; I look skinny but I don't mind it too much because am getting rid of my diabetes.
I did my A1C at the end of October and my doctor said that my magnesium and potassium etc is good. My sugar also went down from 6.4 to 6.0 and my doctor cut my Glucophage dosage of 2000 mg daily, to 1000 mg daily, then, he cut it down again to 500 mg daily, which I take at breakfast time only.
I shall soon stop that 500 mg Glucophage, and I don't want to take any other prescribed medications ever again. I also want to stop the 75 mg Avapro pressure pill which I take on alternate days.
Thanks again and take care of your health; God bless you.
Thank you so much for this information. Sad story: In the last decade of my grandmother's life she would hide salt packets and eat them in secret because, on her doctor's orders, she was ordered to reduce salt as much as possible because she had heart problems, but this also caused her to crave it. My mom would go through her things and find all the small packets from fast-food restaurants she had stashed and get rid of them, thinking she was saving my grandmother, calling her a "saltaholic." So sad that we are still advising people to do things that are terrible for them.
Nice video. Can you do a video on cholesterol meds. Thanks
I like your bright ideas, doctor. Thank you for debunking medical mythology!

That figures. 🤪

Love that 100k subscriber plaque behind you
My elderly mom took to heart (no pun intended) the advice ‘restrict salt’ for her kidney health and because of high blood pressure (she had high blood pressure most of her adult life and one kidney, because of losing a kidney to a congenital defect). Doctors always told her to drink lots of water and restrict salt. This seemed okay when she was younger but as she grew more elderly, I worried about this lifestyle advice. When she was 87 she developed a serious dip in her sodium level (because of drinking large amounts of water coupled with restricting salt). She developed a change in mood - extreme agitation - and experienced stroke like symptoms. She was rushed to the ER and then went into the ICU because her sodium was low enough she could have died. She recovered, but what a scare!
OH, MY! I'm so glad that her behavior alerted you to get her help right away!! I never used much salt. A while back, I started craving salt, which I thought was strange. I did indulge and felt better, my brain was clearer, too. I have a shot glass of sea salt sitting on my table and snag a few grains throughout the day. I just realized that over the last 3 months that I've been drinking 2 or more gallons of water a day. hmmmm..... Ginger, I pray that you and your family have a most blessed and Merry Christmas!!
What is weird, is that I can tell, by instinct, if my body needs salt. So, I just seek it out. So, many people can't read their own body needs.
Did the doctors tell her anything about changing her habits about salt and water?
After the episode, yes.
She was so set in her ways she wouldn’t take the new advice, completely. She drank less water but had been avoiding salt for years and wouldn’t start using it. I think the new advice to add salt was a bridge too far after avoiding it for years.
She did pass quickly, later that year from a heart attack.
She had a bad heart valve and wouldn’t do the surgery.
She never did have another episode of low sodium so we were lucky that way.
@@naydee I asked because I wouldn't be surprised if doctors had treated her for that episode and still encourage her to keep that lifestyle without making the connection between the cause and effect.
I'm sorry I brought back such a sad memory..
From a very young age of about 5, I can remember getting in trouble for sneaking salt. I would steal the salt rocks that makes icecream. I would hammer a nice big chunk off of the horses salt block and take the salts to school and eat on them, while the other kids were eating candy and laughing at me.
I was always craving salt and in trouble for sneaking it. Even as an adult, I still crave salt and feel off if I do not get enough. Wish I knew what causes this craving but at least now I am an adult and don't get i trouble for eating it. For the record, I have been using celtic sea salt for a long time now.
Read "The Salt Fix" It is mentioned in there that someone who gestates in a mother that restricted sodium can have a much bigger craving for it due to that important period of gestation when your "salt thermostat" was set. Unfortunately this can also lead to a more addictive personality too. Easier to be addicted to some drugs.
I ate the horse salt too! Plus the salt in the water softener system. 😅
You should have your bloodwork done and check all of your electrolyte and mineral levels. That’s where I would start.
Salt cravings are associated with Addison’s disease
Is this why I get cravings for salt? I'll put salt in my palm and lick it till I get enough. (Of course it's pink sea salt)
Yes 😊
Thanks Scooter, that's exactly how I watch my salt intake. LOL!
@therealnightwriter Of course the pink means it is a cheap brand. Pay more for a better quality Himalayan pink salt.
@therealnightwriter I prefer Scottish Plaid salt. It isn't magically delicious, but it is good. People, there isn't anything special about Himalayan pink salt. It is mined in Pakistan. It is deposits sea salt, and nothing more.
I feel AWFUL with less than a sufficient amount of salt. I add it to EVERYTHING including my coffee. Coffee tastes so bland to me without Celtic sea salt in it I don’t even need the butter anymore. I probably consume 2 full tsp of sea salt a day......and I feel so much better with it. I have extremely low blood pressure so it helps to keep me a little more perky and less fatigued
Tracy Lynn AZ
Same. I run 100/58 usually. I add pink salt to my coffee, my water, to everything. When fasting is more challenging, i have some Celtic salt and I feel better.
Ahh me too! Lpw blpod presaure and put salt in all bevies..and recently have cut coffee to ensure i get more water with salt. I use 1/4 tsp each potassium and sodium per 1 liter. Being strict is important. If i cheat, which is rare, it wrecks my salt status. Im saying tht for the people taking weekends off.. My head hurts thinking about it..
I've been eating keto for 4 months now, mainly thanks to Dr Berry. I've dropped 20lbs, and often eat one meal per day now. Rarely feel hungry, and don't get the low blood sugar crashes anymore. My energy levels have never been better, and my mental sharpness is dramatically improved. My mood is also much more stable and positive. I could list more positive changes I have witnessed from going keto, but you'd probably think I was lying. Thank you Dr Berry!
Did you feel tired in the beginning? This is my 7th day on Keto..I feel dizzy and tired sometimes..I was told it would be the opposite:(
Your story sounds like mine. Dr. Berry and his teaching has changed my entire life. I gett better every day... Healthier, thinner, more active.....
Before refrigeration people salted their meat to preserve it.
My grandparents kept salted pork in containers in the basement. No refrigeration.
The Romans ate upwards of 25-50 grams of salt a day and the nordics could come near 100g a day and over 2.3 grams is bad for us? Ridiculous lol, definitely check out Dr James dinicolantonios book 'the salt fix' tons of history of salt in there it's a great read!
@@oooRicky
Can you share the link..or just where you have red or heard that
Life expectancy was low
@@ulaachtezulaachtiran257 due to infant mortality, not diet
I saw a presentation recently by an Australian doctor that revealed salt intake graphed against all case mortality was what was called a "J" curve. As people consumed under 3 grams of salt (NaCl) their risk of death rose very sharply as their consumption declined and it leveled out between 3 and 5 grams as safest, and then it rose slowly as you consumed over that amount. The dietary guideline of 2300 mg max. per day was not optimally healthy, In fact your risk of mortality at 6000 mg is about equal to 2300 mg. But people, and professionals are very slow to realize that the old guidelines were bad for us. I still have to remind my wife to eat more salt. Just shake my head, so sad.
salt and sodium are not the same... 2300 mg sodium is 8g of sea salt. salt is 30- 40% sodium. In the 1950s, people were told to eat between 7.5 and 15g of salt per day and athletes at least 25g per day
Perfect timing, my wife was just told to limit her salt intake because she has high blood pressure.
For every pound of adipose tissue gained, your body will develop around 200 additional MILES of blood vessels, mostly microscopic cappilaries but this is why obesity causes high blood pressure. Restricting carbohydrates will solve all of these issues and she can have ALLLLLLL the salt she wants :)
We need to lower our weight
Same with my wife. Doc wanted her to drop sodium and started talking about medication to lower blood pressure... Instead we got back on Keto. It's been a few weeks and her blood pressure has already dropped considerably. I am just disappointed that her Doc didn't even bother to ask about diet or make any real recommendations... Just lower salt, take meds and be on your way.
I’d bet they didn’t even mention her sugar or processed carbs either.
@@grunt226 I think she needs a new doctor, one who WILL treat with diet, since pills are a crutch
Thank you for being a light of truth.
I had high blood pressure for 3 years and I would crave salt like mad, but never have any.
Then during the lockdown from March to june I said fuck it.
Bacon buttys every morning, and I started using salt on my food to taste.
my blood pressure went from 160 over 120 to 117 over 79.
My doctor is an absolute idiot
My daughter has been put on a low salt diet by her liver specialist and dietitian due to worries about her kidneys from alcohol related liver disease. Her fuild intake has also been restricted. This doesn't seem right to me but obviously she's going with wath the doctor says. I'm gettin more worried about her each day. Any adviice appreciated. :)
My husband had congestive heart failure and his doc said loose the shaker. He never added salt but I did cook with it. So I quit using salt. If we eat in restaurants the food is noticeably salty. If he consumes much salt he does hold water bad. Any suggestions would be appreciated. He is not going keto but has cut out snacking between meals and smaller meals. Ahh but does eat a snack right before bedtime.
I was passing out because my blood pressure was too low. Adding more salt to my diet has help me so much. 👍🏾
Great video. I noticed the utube plaque, propped up against a picture frame. Well done you. Now if only 1 person out of a 10 followed your advice, just think of the number of people out there, who are living a better quality of life, thanks to you. That is respect big time.
I have to limit my salt because of Meniere's disease. How much is too much or should I be worried about it on the carnivore diet? Haven't started this diet yet but doing research.
Thumbs up, Dr. Berry. You are a life-saving warrior. Another good one.
Love the angel affect from the picture behind you. Merry Christmas.
I ever saw a documentary where a white man introduced some white rice to some tribal people and they hated. Then he added some salt to it and these tribal people love it so much that they started to bang their heads with their hands as a sign of very delicious food.
When they banged their hands on their heads did they yell "DOH!"?
descargaelbano No. They said, "Um rice with salt."
Oh wow, I saw that documentary!
Like the halo Dr Berry
wish more people knew this. Ever since I upped my sale to about 8 grams a day and get all my minerals my blood pressure has dropped. Currently, it runs about 125/78. Great book on this is Dr. James D. The salt fix. Excellent
John Coffman What was your blood pressure average before the change? This is fascinating!
Lol, doc, you look like some kind of saint in this video! 😉
Just what I thought:o)
LOL Saint Moon!
My last sodium level was actually low, and when I asked my doc, she said don't worry about it
He is right but he hasn't mentioned that table salt is very bad, so make sure that you buy unrefined sea salt. The best in the world is Muldon Sea Salt it tastes amazing and is full of minerals. Thank you for putting this video up.
Oh my gosh~!!! I love you. I am a huge salt eater and that is causing me to love this diet even more~!!!! 3 to 6 grams a day? I AM IN HEAVEN. I have heard since I was a kid that I was going to die of a heart attack and I better stop eating salt. I love to hear this Doc.
Are you overweight ?
So how do we figure out what a good baseline should be? Bc if the recommendations we have been taught our whole lives is based off flawed research, then how do we figure out what the amount we need. I understand that if u crave salt then eat salt, but what about the other electrolytes.
He explains the required amounts in this video.
@@sandrabentley1420 yes he does but it's in a measurement most people dont use for daily consumption.Thats why I asked how do we figure that out. Most people use mg and not milliequivalents. Even most nutrition labels are in mg so I was just wondering if he had numbers most people could understand because the conversion is not that simple.
@@bryanclowery the RDA found on salt containers is pretty much the lowest amount most should have daily.
@@bryanclowery oh I see, good point. Let's hope he answers then.
@@annietoday2037 that's a good point. I never thought to look at it that way. Thanks.
Dr. Barry, you have finally succeeded in not angering the spiteful vegans with this video, 100% thumbs up so far. Congrats!
descargaelbano Vegan and have been with Dr. Berry since first video with Mr. Yeager. I can love him and the animals too :)
Kind of weird that my blood pressure goes up when I eat salt but doesn't when I eat sugar.
I 💕 you doc wish I had a dr like you.😊
I love salt. I don't like Redmond salt, very disappointed with all the "grit."
Yay ! I love salt...
The only salt I use is pink hymilian or sea salt...what's your opinion?
Ahhhh those guidelines! Where would be without them?
We would be a WHOLE lot healthier!!!
Vickie Turner above ground and vertical for starters would be guess, Vickie.
Hello Dr Ken, is sodium from seafoods (sardines etc) enough? Because I have problem if I add any extra salt in my carnivore diet. I am a huge fan from Greece. Keep up the good work! Thank you.
Thank you Dr Berry
I did give up salt a couple of years
But I didn't know the affects it had on my health
What I mean I was having very bad leg cramps
Not realizing it was because of the lack of salt in my body
Anyway about year ago I happy to read that lack of salt is bad for your health
So I bought pink sea salt
And take a very small teaspoon of this salt in a glass of water ever morning just coming up to a year now
My leg cramps have gone
My blood pressure is normal
Wait, time out. How the heck to you check a lab rat's blood pressure????? I'm just picturing this teeny little BP cuff............
I went from less than 2300mg of sodium to 4000mg. BP stayed the same. AND I am more alert, and can think better. Overall, I just "feel" healthier.
I have been keto since May 2017. I was having tachycardia fairly often so I took an electrolyte supplement and it would go away. The supplement had 1000mg potassium. It also had salt and Mag. I was already eating enough potassium in my diet most days with my spinach and avocado,etc. I kept getting the random 120 hr knowing I was getting enough potassium. I did a week experiment twice. I took my food potassium rich foods away and waited to get tachy heart and treated it with pink salt only. It went away every time. I was so glad to stop worrying about supplementing my potassium level. I eat pretty clean keto and rarely eat out so not getting much added salt in my food. Pink salt for the win! 5lbs Sherpa extra fine Himalayan pink salt on Az is $14. It is a necessity. People get ya some good mineral salt. It makes me feel great. Your body can tell you to eat when it is needing salt and make you more hungry that you should be so it helps with cravings as well.
Thank you Doc !
I use salt to flavor my food. Especially my omelette in the morning.
On keto for a year and my BP drop from 130 to 114.
Remind me how “bad” salt is to BP?
My doctor is dumbfounded:)
Good, I enjoy getting healthier and frustrating my doctor at the same time;)

I’m just wondering if salt stops fat loss? I’m on Azeri carb diet - carnivore, and I eat meat, salt, fat, eggs... my health is better but I’m worried that salt may hinder fat loss? Any advice anybody..? Dr Ken Berry..?
Great Video Dr. Berry, but TBH I'm sensitive to high salt intake. If I have too much salt, then I feel it. Too much of anything is bad for you. 2,000 mg a day is more than enough
Too much meat ? Too much money , too much love ? ..Nah
Salt to taste? Ok, that's fine and dandy but why don't you discuss the absolutely INSIDIOUS amount of sodium in processed foods, courtesy of our food industry. That's healthy? And the truly pathetic reality of it all is how oblivious the average person is to the amount of sodium they're consuming in ADDITION to using the salt shaker. Talk about sodium overload. I think being a doctor, you need to cover all bases before advising people.
That moon picture behind you gives you such a cool aura 😊
😁😁😁
Dr. Berry,
I would like your personal opinion,
is sodium phosphate acceptable
if (very occasionally) eating while eating
Carnivore diet ?
You really should emphasize though that if people are cooking HOME COOKED meals to make sure they add salt... but if you are eating canned and packaged processed foods you absolutely should limit the amount of sodium you eat... Some people will watch this video thinking "Great! I can have as much sodium as I want!" which is pretty scary... there is a shit ton of sodium in processed foods and people need to be aware of this.. my best friend checks his blood pressure every day and there is a clear difference when he eats processed high sodium foods his blood pressure skyrockets... This can be very misleading for people
I hope someone might respond. I'm wondering about the you tube 3 part series Nature Wants Us to be Fat by Prof. Richard Johnson. During the part two video - about midway - he describes problems with salt and its contribution to obesity and salt-induced fatty liver. I have always been a salt eater and refer to it as my favorite food. 😛 Now? I am conflicted.
How do you explain people (like myself) who are salt-sensitive? If I eat the amount of salt you talk about after a couple of days I will end up with swollen and tight feeling ankles and lower legs. I find it very uncomfortable. I sure wish I could change this as I have always craved salty foods as opposed to sweet, but I imagine I may be in the small percentage of people who cannot tolerate much salt in their diet.
That picture behind you makes you look like Saint Berry! 😂
On the serious note, the kind of salt you ingest is just as important for health. Avoid the bleached, processed salt.
Thanks Dr. Berry....it is very frustrating that at least one person whom I have been sending all of this info to rejects it all because nothing has , according to him..."been verified". I am deleting all of his comments from my email page now.
I agree the studies and reasons doctors recommend salt is bogus. And I think added sodium and electrolytes might be needed with increased exercise. But one of the Carnivore "elders" as I call em, Dana Spencer, hasn't eaten salt with her meat for like 10 years and looks and feels amazing at I think 56. So it doesnt seem to be required at all. Plus where would deer n other mammals including our ancestors have gotten salt from without our salt licks and shakers? I dont think most animals get salt from salt mines. There is sodium in meat. As well as potassium. Surely enough for indigenous people and wild animals to survive. I'm genuinely looking for a definitive answer atm. Idk how prevalent sodium rich rocks and mountains are throughout the world.
Odds are you sell blood pressure pills. Take your own advice and keep downing salt LOL. Guys this is way false. Sugar isn't great either but salt will most certainly hurt you in excessive amounts.
Just not even listening to this video I could already tell that he is going to be salt positive, you know how? look how he looks, face is puffy, under eye swelling, slight tendency towards ryhnophima on the nose. Tendency towards rosacea. You know how I know ? When I eat food with increases sodium I have similar symptoms in my skin too. So yeah if you want to look puffy, irritable, develop neurological diseases ( do your research) go ahead put salt on everything, standard American diet has way too much sodium and if you listen to this guy, you will have autoimmune, cancer, stroke or high blood pressure pretty soon. Test it on yourself. Eat high salt diet for 5 days and then low salt diet for 5 days and see how you look and feel. Some people may need more sodium but majority do not. Sodium is in every vegetable and fruit and we get enough of it by just eating basic diet.
I would walk millions of miles for a salt lick! I AM addicted to salt. Probably the only person in the world who is addicted to salt! I lick my salt lamps! Am I weird? YES!!
how do you check BP on a rodent ? do they use really small cuffs , or wrap a cuff around the rodent and crush it ?
There is a concern now of plastics in 90% of sea salt so I have switched to Real Salt from a company in Utah. It also has a lot of minerals in it naturally. I buy it at Sprouts or you can order it.
My mom’s hands get swollen if she has soy sauce. She’s found out it’s similar with other highly salty foods. So her allergist told her to just limit her salt as much as she can. Do you think that it’s actually something else that’s causing her swelling, like pollutants or bad chemicals and not the actual salt?
Questions: which is better, healthy uncontaminated fish or meat...........or what are the differences?
2nd favorite part of the video, the picture in the background makes your heat look like an aliens head...LOL, Thanks for the great info and laugh Dr. Ken
It's all about how much we need, not whether we need it or not, there's not much debate there. The keto dogma recommends too much salt which can electrolyte imbalance of potassium and magnesium imo. There are plenty of folk thriving on no added salt whatsoever, so clearly it's all about electrolyte balance. You are making it sound like people need to consume more sodium than potassium which is wrong but hey, if your doing fine go with it I guess.
Instead of putting 2021 in the title, you should just make another video with additional new research/studies.
Hi, would you suggest the same salt recommendations to the people with proteinuria/nephrotic syndrome issues too.. If this Doc doesn't reply. Does Anyone else know if this still applies the same for people with proteinuria/nephrotic issues.
In addition to addiction, crack, alcohol, and sugar is bringing a positive feedback loop, while salt on the other hand is bringing a negative feedback loop. No wonders why kids always pick their nose, lots of salty minerals lol.
I salt everything. 😍😍😍
@Tacha Luffy 😂😂😂
What does this mean?
I have an unusual craving for salt. I use way more salt than anybody I know. People wont eat food that I salted. This has got to mean something.
Ricky Russelburg USA I’m exactly the same! I’ve always used loads of salt on my food. When I feel weak or something I need salt and I feel so much better! People are constantly having a go at me for how much I use but it makes me feel good!
@@mols_x
I just learned that my iodine was low. I mix a little lemon juice with 3 or 4 drops of iodine. Salt cravings went away.
Try it out.
Thank you Dr. Berry! Would you please tell me what the bust is on your left side? I would be interested to know who that is and why you think it is important to have that reminder present. Thank you again for creating these very important videos.
I have T1diabetes for 50+ years. I have a little kidney issue, not severe. I am retaining water, not tons. Should I limit salt? I find that if I eat hi salt meal my ankles and feet are more swollen. I miss salt. 😔. Any suggestions. I don’t have any heart disease that I M aware of.
I love salt and take plenty of it, especially in coffee but lately have been reading on certain zero carb facebook groups that it is not needed and bad for your skin. I have also just finished the Bear's book and he calls it a poison. I am very confused!!!!
Makes sense and is totally mind settling. But what if you are diabetic with CKD with high potassium?
My husband is on the carnivore WOE with me. He has always loved his salt, but is finding out his ankles are starting to retain fluid. Does this have anything to do with salt intake??
I was told your maybe eating too much salt.. I said how’s my sodium level they said normal 😂
I’m no expert but I have thrown away the table salt and switched to Celtic salt. It tastes good and you get the added benefit of 82 trace minerals that we all know are lacking in the mineral deficient food we consume.
Yay , first thumbs up ! Love your videos , Dr . B !
It's a shame that you didn't give the ectrolyte quantities in units that your customers can understand. You never see those measures on supplement bottles. Come on, we're not all in the medical profession.
So, just wondering, how does this relate to when we eat ham, for example, and end up with swollen hands and feet? Or my elderly father's CHF and hypertension, with swollen ankles and legs unless he severely limits sodium? Thanks for your advice...
Dorothy Tarr , I was just wondering the same thing. I swell up daily and have to take water pills. My doctor says it’s from being obese and gravity. The water pills do nothing really. My dad had CHF. I get confused about all of this. I have high blood pressure too. So confused about it all.
I'm also wondering the same thing; I'm really confused!
@@skinnydee1886 If you have CHF or other conditions, drink more water, it balances the salt.
Read “the salt fix” by Dr. DeNicolantio. He will debunk the salt myth even further. We need salt. Lowering our salt consumption hurts us more than eating too much. Our kidneys, if healthy, can rid the excess from our body. Really listen to Dr. Berry’s video again and truly hear what he’s saying. Today’s doctors are making recommendations on salt restriction based on bad information and POORLY done research done on rats, then politicians got involved. So, we are eating less salt because someone thinks we should, NOT based on evidence derived from a study done in a fashion that is VALID.
First, get yourself into ketosis! Then after adjusting meds, adjust water and salt.
Stay hungry my friends!
What about people on carnivore for longer periods that tend to not use salt much if at all? And Steffansons acounts of the Inuit not using it, there word for salt translated to evil tasting. Is it only necessary if you are sweating and exercising hardcore?
Saved, liked, shared, and I tell everyone about your videos. Thank you Dr.
I eat keto IE eat eggs spinach bacon etc.then I get I'll with carb needs. If I dont eat carbs I lose weight.then I get sick from no carbs, then eat them I blow up. I mean 5 pounds in one day.
Its crazy.
Can you give samples of what to eat?
Where are u getting all this salt in nature though other than salt licks ? No real food whether fruit, veggie, or meat is naturall high in sodium apart from like pigs and few few exceptions
I think we need a balance, the right amount of everything, too much or too little of everything isn't good.
We like sugar but cream cakes all day isn't good, we love fat and oil but burger and fries all day every day isn't good, it's about balance.
Ok doc I had open heart surgery and I am holding water they put me on water pills and cut my salt way down and still holding water. Any ideas on what i should do my self i know since they cut my salt I do not feel as good
When I started Keto, my edema left on its own. Halved my water pill and lost my stolen ankles.
