A member asked:
Is table salt harmful to expectant mothers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Moderation: Everything in moderation. Mom and unborn child need salt. All our nerves are conducted on changes in sodium and chloride. Salt is a important part of the diet, in moderation. The recommendation is 2g of salt a day.
