Does salt cause thirst? It's really not all that certain
Pincho says...
Science can be too flippant most of the time. There is no re-evaluation of the cause for thirst that we feel from eating salt, so nothing is achieved in the link. For example... does eating nuts make you thirsty? Or another example is there a higher thirst after salt followed by a decrease in thirst following drinking so that the two things balance out? Without a re-evaluation I do not take the link seriously. It is just a test with a few people, and the test was taken as the final word on the matter. That is to me a test that ended with an emotion similar to reading about a UFO, or Ghost story. the emotion... "Wow!!! Salt doesn't make you thirsty!!!" That emotional feeling ended the study right there. I have seen this many times in the psychology of certain people's evaluations. "The Universe Is A Hologram!!!" ... You can leave emotions out of science... finish with the true story, don't just end with a finding that leads nowhere.
There are 3 ways of thinking...
1/ With Data, and Mathematics
2/ With deduction, and visualization.
3/ With emotional outbursts
Link = some data unfinished cut short by emotion

The main finding was that the level of reported thirst and the actual quantity of water that the subjects drank after eating salty nuts were not different than following consumption of candied nuts or nuts without added flavors.
