If you care about optimal athletic performance, you shouldn't be afraid of salt unless you are one of the relatively few who has blood pressure affected by sodium.

Saw a news report about this and was scared for a while that I bought Himalayan salt.

One article I read said this:

 

Based on their results, the researchers estimate that the average adult ingests about 2,000 pieces of microplastic in salt per year. But, they write, that still only represents a fraction of the microplastics a person is likely to consume.

 

Previous research revealed that microplastics have also been found in tap water, mollusks, and both indoor and outdoor air. All together, those four pathways add up to an average 32,000 pieces of microplastic ingested per year per person. Inhaling microplastics in the air is by far the largest contributor—people ingest roughly 80% of the microplastics that enters their bodies through this route.

 

Given those other sources of exposure, microplastics in table salt amounts to about 6% of a person’s total microplastics ingestion, the researchers write.

 

Microplastics have also been found in beer and fish.

How TF do i eat my Idaho potato without salt?

[Penguin]

Cover it in bacon, plenty of salt in the bacon for flavoring.

That actually sounds good. My wife makes potato skins covered in salty bacon, chives and cheddar. Bake them in the oven and serve them up with some good Wings.
