What? Raw meat has a negligible amount of salt. How is it not all green?
Didn't read the article but raw packaged meats are often (depending on local regulation) injected with sodium solutions.
I'd be very surprised if it was only pork that got this treatment. If anything, I'd think chicken breasts would be the most common victim.
Good point, doesn't add up...
has the nice sideeffect that it weighs more.
they also gave red points because of saturated fats. fun fact: in thise studies red meat vs. diabetis, a pizza with salami gets counted as red meat.
yeah I can't figure it out. according to google, raw pork has 53mg of sodium per 3-oz serving, and broccoli has 49. I can't figure out how to get exactly the salt content but it's the sodium that's bad for you, right?
edit - okay maybe they're talking about bean based alternatives like soy? that's got like 4mg, pinto beans have 1
Yeah, salt normally refers to sodium content. Salts separate in solution, so you never have actual NaCl unless you have a solid hunk of salt.
But also, sodium isn't inherently bad for you. Just like most things we consume, too little is bad, and too much is also bad. 53mg per serving is still so far off from what a typical adult needs.
One time, i was in hospital, surgery was postponed, and i couldnt eat for two days. they put 4.5 liters of nacl in me, i counted. 40 grams of salt.
I HAd A HEART AttACK ON THE THIRD DAY
wait, i made that up. nothing happened at all. i just peed a lot, and watched a lot of mukbang videos.
yeah but like, who eats 3 oz of pork at a time.
what do you mean salt separates in solution? you're not saying it breaks up into sodium and chlorine?
I don't know if you mean that 3oz sounds high or low. It certainly sounds like a normal serving size to me. I normally aim for about 7oz per meal if I'm having pork, but I'm pretty sure that's on the high end. Even then, it's just a little over 100mg of sodium. I've seen the recommended minimum daily sodium for healthy adults to range anywhere between 500mg and 2000mg depending on the source.
And yes, I do mean it breaks up into sodium and chlorine. It makes sense to talk about "salt concentration" in the context of salt dissolved in distilled water, but less so when you have so many other things in solution because there's no straightforward way (to the best of my knowledge, but I'm also no chemist) to map from dissolved ions to the molecules they would've been a part of.
I mean, individual burger patties start at 8 ounces, and people regularly stack them or eat more than one burger
Damn that's huge. In these parts, a quarter pounder is considered large. You'll only see 8oz patties when you go to fancier restaurants.
and carnivores are prone to be salt and mineral deficient anyway.
