But the given examples are a bit anecdotal and correlation != causation, so it could also be part of their upbringing. | |

| Aug 26, 2013 at 8:40 | comment | added | ChrisW | Would you quote where-ever in Moss' book he says that, "If a person abstains from consuming salt for a time, they will regain their original sensitivity to it"? And, what was his evidence or study for saying that? | |
| Aug 26, 2013 at 8:38 | comment | added | ChrisW | I find it difficult to read, but your 2004 Study only shows something about rats, not humans: that, if they have a history of being salt-deprived, then they eat more salt yet without seeming to enjoy it more. So it may be an exaggeration to say, "it's like the relationship that humans have with addictive substances". | |

salt was mentioned twice in the first sentence
