I wouldn't assume anyone is getting that much salt unless they're logging their food.


Although I'm not measuring out my salt, I wouldn't doubt that I get this much these days. I liberally salt my food, especially my vegetables. I utilize my salt shaker numerous times during a meal, as I uncover the various layers of my pile of veggies. I would definitely not be surprised to find that all my shaking adds up to this. When I was eating a junk food diet, I never salted anything. Heck, I imagine that 1.) the processed foods on which I was living already had plenty of salt and 2.) the fact that I was eating well over 400 carbs per day meant I wasn't excreting a lot of sodium, so I just didn't need to add any salt to my diet. I had no real taste for added salt. Now, I sure do.
