Part 5/7:
One unexpected outcome was the heightened sensitivity to salt. Having cut down on salt, Ray found himself perceiving certain foods as excessively salty. An example was fish soup, which he initially believed was a healthy choice, only to discover that the salt content, particularly from added MSG, soy sauce, or fish sauce, made it unexpectedly high in sodium.
Ray's engagement with viewers' comments revealed a shared curiosity and concern about hidden sources of salt. Comments ranged from surprise at sodium levels in fried fish to inventive ideas, such as eating food when it's cool to reduce perception of saltiness. These interactions highlight growing public interest and awareness around hidden sodium in everyday foods.
