"The increased intake in salt [since] has apparently played an
important role in the increase in the consumption of soft drinks and,
hence, also in the increase in energy intake," wrote authors Dr. Heikki
Karppanen of the University of Helsinki and Dr. Eero Mervaala of the
University of Kuopio.
"Higher consumption of sweetened beverages was associated with both a
greater magnitude of weight gain and an increase risk for development
of type-2 diabetes," they wrote."
http://www.bakeryandsnacks.com/news/ng.asp?n=71941-salt-obesity-sodium
"
"To our surprise, the sales figures of the American Salt Institute
divulged that salt intake increased more than 50 % in USA during 15
years from mid-1980s to the late 1990s", says Professor Karppanen. The
study reports that the prevalence of high blood pressure, which had
long shown a decreasing trend, turned to a marked increase
concomitantly with the increase in salt intake.
Perhaps the most interesting finding of the study is the close link
between salt intake and obesity. The study reports that increasing
intakes of sodium (salt) obligatorily produce a progressive increase in
thirst. The progressive increase in the average intake of salt explains
the observed concomitant increase in the intake of beverages which, in
turn, has caused a marked net increase in the intake of calories during
the same period in the United States.
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/11/061101151027.htm "
Above links relate salt intake with many CV related problems. But it is
also related to getting obesity and diabetes. Sugar and salt are
co-transpoted from intestine to blood as active transport mechanism.
Personally being diabetic, I do get control on overeating by decreasing
or discontinuing added salt intake for some time. Being hypertensive,
my father take restricted salt intake and do has best diet
control(surprising to us) since more than last 15 years.
Can you furthur evaluate it?

difficult lives far from the gates of Paradise, where they considered

is very appropriate for describing the origins of the Natrum psyche,
which now is the psyche of the majority of Humanity."

As you said, taste can be dependant on body status of any nutrient.
As such, can defficiency of any nutrient cause increased taste and
hunger for that nutrient and opposite on nutrients sufficiency or
excesses?
Can defficiency of any nutrient cause increased taste and hunger for
food (in general) and opposite on any nutrients sufficiency or
excesses?
Can defficiency or excessiveness of any nutrient cause excessess or
defficiency of other nutrients respectively due to more or less food
intake?
Probably, K supplements may help to diabetics. Mg defficiency is
related to K defficiency. What this Mg can do for K influx?

Why such overeating can't be right eating of one nutrient but
overeating of others?

As above.
"Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme regulated reactions.
Most importantly forming and using ATP, i.e. kinase. There is a direct
effect on sodium- (Na), potassium- (K) and calcium (Ca)channels. It
has several effects:
**Potassium channels are inhibited by magnesium. Hypomagnesemia
results in increased efflux of intracellular Mg. The cell loses
potassium which then is excreted by the kidneys, resulting in
hypokalemia. **
Release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum is inhibited by
magnesium. Low levels of magnesium stimulate the release of calcium
and thereby an intracellular level of calcium. This effect similar to
calcium inhibitors makes it "nature's calcium inhibitor." Lack of
magnesium inhibits the release of parathyroid hormone, which can also
result in hypocalcemia. Furthermore, it makes skeletal and muscle
receptors less sensitive to parathyroid hormone.
Through relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle it causes
bronchodilation.
The neurological effects are:
reducing electrical excitation
blocking release of acetylcholine
blocking N-methyl-D-aspartate, an excitatory neurotransmitter of the
central nervous system
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypomagnesemia "
"Hypomagnesemia can also cause hypokalemia, as magnesium is required
for the adequate processing of potassium. This may come to light when
hypokalemia persists despite potassium supplementation. Other
electrolyte abnormalities may also be present. "

Food by definition contain nutrients.
It logically follows from this definition that a person who is eating
excessive amounts of food will be overnourished rather than
undernourished.

No, salt is not a vasoconstrictor.
Instead, it is a flavor enhancer.
When added in optimal amounts, the food tastes better making folks
hungrier and able to eat more. The latter leading to visceral adipose
tissue results in higher blood pressures.

Are you claiming that there are no folk who have optimal VAT and yet

There are certainly animal models of this.

There are no animal models of NaCl being a vasoconstrictor.
On the otherhand, there are human examples of increasing VAT
increasing blood pressure:

I didn't say there was. I said there are animal models for
hypertension in normal weight individuals which is brought on by salt
in the diet, and reduced by reducing the dietary salt.
If you recall, you said that the mechanism was in eating more, an
indirect effect of the salt, but I'm contending that salt in some
normal weight individuals can increase blood pressure.

Many studies indicate it;
" Thus increases in [NaCl][e] within the physiologic range enhance
coronary smooth muscle contraction to 5-HT by a mechanism possibly
involving Ca[2+] entry via the reverse mode of the Na[+]/Ca[2+]
exchanger, but not Ca[2+] release from the intracellular stores. The
reduction of coronary contraction with supraphysiologic [NaCl][e] in
both Ca[2+]-containing and Ca[2+]-free Krebs could be related to
excessive increases in ionic strength and may mask significant
coronary vasoconstrictor effects of physiologic increases in [NaCl]
[e].
http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=13767982 "
"Thus short-term administration of high-sodium diet appears to
potentiate vasoconstrictor responses to ANG II by facilitating
sympathetic neurotransmission, and long-term administration of high-
sodium diet raises SBP by potentiating the trophic vascular effects of
ANG II. The interaction appears to be specific to ANG II and is
occurring on the vascular level.
