Hidden salt is killing us. £5 off at cheapskates’ cheapomarket Lidl. Cheap food often has large amounts of hidden salt. Daily Express shoots itself in the balls again.
I caught a bit of the article and their contention is that salt is being hidden by calling it ’sodium’.. which I haven’t been able to verify on any of the labels I’ve seen that clearly mention salt content (along with fat, etc.).
Firstly I doubt that.. Sodium Nitrite is not salt. Sodium Ascorbate is not salt. Both of these are found in food. If they’re labelling it anything they’re labelling it Sodium Chloride.
Secondly anyone over the age of 8 knows that Sodium Chloride = salt. Except mail readers, apparently.
We eat far more obvious salt – crisps, burgers, etc. all of which have the salt content clearly labeled on the packaging, than ‘hidden’ salt.
But clearly it’s not our fault for having a crappy diet, it’s those evil food manufacturers hiding salt in their food.
Saline drips!
I bet no-one ever got mauled by a bear before ZaNuLiebor came to power.

I don’t think there is actually hidden salt at all.
There used to be, but modern laws mean that all salt content should be printed on labels.
That’s why your Big Mac now tells you exactly how much salt is in it.
The Expresses article is that there is more salt than you think in certain things. And they don’t advertise the fact.
It isn’t hidden. It’s just the fact that people can’t be bothered to read every label they put in their shopping bags.
There is huge amounts of salt in all processed food. When you go to Burger King, the health issue is not the fat, or the cholesterol, or the calories.
In all 3, it’s really not much different than a Prawn Mayonnaise sandwich.
The issue is the huge amounts of salt in it.
Seriously. A Big Mac has about 5 grams of salt in it. As in a handful.
That’s literally about 30-40% of your recommended daily in take
Is the bear aware of that human’s salt content?
especially if that particular human has been shopping at Lidl and eating a lot of crappy food.

Such an horrific moment that they think it’s best if they print a large colour photo of it on the front page.
I’m actually going to step in here, Lidl’s food is actually all right and isn’t crappy unlike Iceland and the like.
as for the bear It only wants a hug
