Secondly, any diet should support and not override medical necessities. If you require more salt for a medical condition - then use it! Those of us who are not hypoadrenal are generally better off without much salt. Personally I envy your deficiency. I am a "saltaholic" but have two parents with ridiculous blood pressure, hence, I normally do not indulge my cravings. James at Penn State
