Joining us now good to see doctor here's the thing with salt though.

If you never pick up the salt shaker -- you still have to worry.

It's actually an excellent question because 77%.

A -- assault is is hit -- in our food and it doesn't come straight from the sale of its salt shaker.

But this is a city that's coming out of nature this week and it's very important because.

Now all of a sudden salt.

Is going to cause -- called autoimmune disease.

Diabetes type one.

Multiple sclerosis.

And had psoriasis and others and we never knew about this to everyone knows about salt and high blood pressure heart disease and stroke.

That's given but not causing autoimmune disease and this is a serious problem what he does.

And what autoimmune diseases it's really taking your.

Helper cells you're white so that's supposed to help you defend you against your own body.

Now all of a sudden those cells are going to basically go after your -- your pancreas your nervous system like most most -- is on -- on.

And it stimuli what causes this is soft so this segment is one of the most important was that we've ever done.

How much salt.

Should be taking.

If you look at the US dietary guidelines they talk about 2300.

Milligrams a day.

American Heart Association recommends 15100.

Milligram which is a lot less what do we take you want to take -- guess.

3400.

Milligram of salt the day the back to tea teaspoon full and that's a lot of salt.

I was just thinking three slices of the Turkey that I eat out the other by the grocery store it says it has the 8700.

We don't Graham says all I'm not to get a brand name but everything seems to have so much salt even Brett.

Your point is well taken and there are a lot of food and that has salt that you don't -- think about it.

Including a lot of sweet foods like -- -- cereal we have a whole list for example of the top on the list is -- you one -- that you would get so much -- permit.

Processed -- call cause all of these needs to have tons and tons of salt in them.

Pizza for example has about you know 760.

Milligrams of two slices of pizza you have done it -- the -- that all can you imagine the next one is really -- Any kind of oldies that can sue has tons of salt Kellyanne you're shaking your head so you want to stay away from that.

Because that's all of the disease now.

How many Americans are affected by autoimmune disease in this country 24 million.

And that could be the reason why we have so much obesity heart disease and then you know many other autoimmune disease we have about radio them.

I was surprised of the -- -- -- Connection you wouldn't think -- skin disorder would be tied to salt or inflammation so that's the reason why I love this study because if you really pay attention.

You gonna put a lot of these food on the side are you going to think about what you're gonna put in your mouth.

You you are who you what you eat and you want to make sure you look at the labels and -- -- salt sugar is there would talk about another segment that has sugar.
