Abstract
Observations were made of salt added during meals. Nineteen per cent of 211 participants salted before tasting food, 18 per cent salted after tasting, and 2 per cent salted both before and after tasting. Of those who self-reported "never" to salt food before tasting, 6 per cent were observed to do so. Of those who reported never to salt after tasting, 3 per cent did so. Results support the conclusion that self-reported abstinence from use of table salt is strongly correlated with actual behavior.
