A member asked:
Is true that salty crackers can cause swelling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: In moderation probably not, however, what is known is: that salt or sodium causes an imbalance of fluid distribution in the body and pursuant to swelling, it causes retention of body fluids: this leads to swelling or "edema". Good luck!
