The Evidence: Salt
For eons, salt has been crucial to human health, culture, and diet. On this episode of The Evidence, we explore the strange science of salt taste \u2013 why it can be sweet, salty, or even a flavour enhancer. We look at how salt keeps our bodies running, and what happens if we have to little of it. And while too little salt may be bad, too much is also a problem. What does the science say about how much salt is optimal, and what can we do to make sure we\u2019re eating the right amount? Claudia Hammond is joined by a panel of salty experts who will help find the answers to these questions and more.
