My local supermarket is selling unflavoured, unsweetened cows milk yoghurt.
On the list of ingredients it simply says "contains milk". On the list of
nutrional data it refers to "0.2g salt per 100g". That comes as a shock to
me as I eat about 2 litres of yoghurt a day, thats a whopping 2g salt in my
drinks before I even start on the food. This supermarket is the only one
that gives a salt content. Are all cows milk yoghurts oing to have the same
levels of salt? |

0,2g salt per 100g is normal natural content for cows milk. To lower this
content one must use cream and water. But this is ONLY 2g. Healthy people
needs 15g for urine plus additdinal grams for sweat (in extremal situations
up to 30g).

Any comments? I think that it may be shock for someone. In this link :
http://www.rice.edu/~jenky/sports/salt.html is:
"Sweat contains between 2.25 - 3.4 grams of salt per liter, and the rate of
perspiration in a long, hot race can easily average 1 liter per hour. So,
for a 12 hour race, one could lose approximately 27 to 41 grams of salt. If
the athlete replaces only the lost water and has minimal salt intake,
hyponatremia can result."
But this salt can be recovered. Water evaporate but salt is on ones skin and
on underweare. So if one goes to bed without strip tease and shower the salt
will be again in the body after a few hours.
