Oh I did my math wrong there... |
How are you drinking 12-27% of your daily salt intake? The maximum recommended salt intake according to the .edu source I found is 2300 mg. 75 mg is only
3.3% of your daily salt intake, and you will actually get 5.2% if you drink a single average sized glass of milk. So if you are saying that 3.3% of your daily intake via liquids is bad, you must also be indicating we should stop drinking milk since it is an even higher %?
Also, if our blood is .6% salt, your math is wrong once again. A 335 mL can of pop has ~335,000mg in it. 75mg of salt/335,000mg is .02%; .02% is less than .6%. Even if you took out just the water and salt from our blood and made a saltwater mixture, it would be .6 units salt for each .506 units of water; .6/.506 is 1.18% saltwater you would be making there (you divided by 50.6, instead of .506 in your math).
Please give it up dude. If the salt in pop makes you thirsty, it has nothing to do with the salinity relative the the salinity of our blood, because it is incredibly lower than the salinity of our blood. What makes people thirsty (such as at restaurants when they go out to eat) is the salt in the food. They are putting very little liquid in their body (whatever liquid the food contains) while putting a lot of salt in their body (restaurant food has lots of salt).
This isn't even to mention the fact that while it might for you, pop does not make me thirstier (just like milk, which contains even more salt yet) does not make me thirstier. If I drink a pop while I'm thirsty, my thirst is quenched. If I drink milk while thirsty, my thirst is quenched.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
