Hello Dr.Bill
Great information on salt, thankyou. As high blood pressure has featured in our family for some time adding salt to food has always been a definite no, no. Living on a farm our diets have greatly improved over the past 4 years, most of our food we grow ourselves, we also eat our own meat….this is my question. Would natural meat contain salt ? l thought anything processed would contain salt as it enhances flavours but l had never thought of how much salt natural food contains….cheers Angie
Hello Angie, Thank you for your question.
All naturally occuring foods contain Sodium, even your delicious home grown beef and chicken. However the amount varies from a trace upwards. Even breast milk contains a small amount of sodium. The salt in naturally occuring foods is NOT the problem. It has been estimated that about 80% of the salt intake in our diet comes from processed foods. Hence the recommendation eliminate or at least drastically reduce added salt in the home diet. Certainly read labels.
I love watching Cooking Programmes but I am horrified at the amount of salt our popular Chefs add to their recipes.
Have a look at the Australian Food standards site; it has hundreds of pages listing all the foods we eat and their salt content.
Best wishes .
Doctor Bill

Hello Eryn, I have never heard of anyone having an HDL of 12 with a normal LDL. We like people to hava an HDL around 2. I would ask your doctor to have the levels checked again
