SHOULD FOOD BE sALTEDr
French Scientists Say There is No Ne
cessity for the Condiment.

From the Revue scientifque.
This is no new question. but apparently
it is not settled yet. In an exhaustive dis
cussion of it NJ Rene Iaufer concludes
that while salt Is absolutely necessary 10
the animal organism enough of 1t for our
needs is contained naturally in our ordi-
nary articles of food. so that the addition
Of 1t as a condiment Is superfluous Tales
of disease caused by lack of salt he dis
misses as untrustworthy. Says M. Laufer:
1.-THE desire for salt is certainly universal.
It seems to have been used everywhere at
all times and in all civlizat tons. The same
3salt seasons today the miserable portion OF
the SoudaneSe negro and the choice dishes
of European tables The need of
salt Is not limited to man: many animals
seek 1t with avidity. So general a
prediction. so imperious a desire should
not be regarded as a simple incident, that
is certain; but do they correspond to an un-
avoidable necessity?
lis 1t not curious that the chloride of
sodium should be the only salt that we take
from nature to add to those contained in
our food itself? Other mineral substances
play much more important part in the
constitution of the tissues. the salts of lime
and the phosphate of soda, for instance.
- When we use these by themselves
1t is as medicine.
THE taste for salt is not innate or IN
stinctive: it Is ACQUIRED. The mothers milk
contains very little salt. Cows milk has
at least four. times as much. but even in
this amount the adult who should live on
milk alone-say three quarts a day-would
take more chloride than he needs
Man in a state of nature does not salt
Ills food. Primitive peoples who lead a
pastoral and nomadic life do not add salt
to what they eat. The same is true
of animals. Dogs and cats do not like salt
Even the domestic herbivores get along
very well If salt is not added to their food"
NJ. Laufer discredits all tales of illness
from the discontinuance of salt. The French
soldiers who were said to have suffered
from lack of salt in the siege Of Metz did
SO. he says, simply because they required
1t to hide the taste of the spoiled meat that
Russian serfs who are reported to have
fallen Ill when deprived of salt by their
lords bears on its face, NJ. Laufer thinks,
marks Of its falsity.
Among the chief morbid symptoms said
to follow the lack of salt is edema, swell
ing, but the writer shows that nowadays a
diet without salt Is prescribed for this trou-
BILE and has been effective in curing it. In
the same way he disposes to his satisfac-
ton of all the different ills said to arise
when one is deprived Of salt.
Finally, he calculates the amount of salt
necessary to carry on the processes of or
ganic animal life and the amount lost by
excretion and comes to the following con-
clusion:
Our food, provided 1t constitutes proper
regimen in the physiologic sense of the
word, contains in itself. and with no neces-
sity OF adding to it from outside, sufficient
salt for our needs.
