It’s not the potato in the chip that drives your taste buds wild – it’s the chip’s salty flavor. Your body craves salt because it needs it to survive. (Salt helps your tissues stay hydrated and serves other vital functions.) Too much of a good thing can be bad, however. Consuming too much salt can lead to heart disease and other health risks.
Lately, researchers have taken a closer look at salt. Eating lots of it has been linked to obesity, even independent of calorie consumption. Some research even shows that liking salty, fatty foods is linked to overeating and overweight even more than having a taste for sweet fatty foods.
