Hello,

Whether common salt intake can act as appetizer or increase
hunger/cravings to overeat(ref; sugar/Na co-transported via Na/K pump)?

If yes, can it also be due to iodine in iodized salt, now in much
use(ref; increased appetite on hyperthroidism)?

Best wishes.

Na/K pump? That is voodoo. Alchemy. It doesn't exist. It is a
physically inpossible concept.

"Another important task of the Na+-K+ pump is to provide a Na+ gradient
that is used by certain carrier processes. In the gut, for example,
sodium is transported out of the resorbing cell on the blood side via
the Na+-K+ pump, whereas, on the resorbing side, the Na+-Glucose
symporter uses the created Na+ gradient as a source of energy to import
both Na+ and Glucose, which is far more efficient than simple
diffusion. Similar processes are located in the renal tubular system.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NaKATPase";

"Absorption of glucose entails transport from the intestinal lumen,
across the epithelium and into blood. The transporter that carries
glucose and galactose into the enterocyte is the sodium-dependent
hexose transporter, known more formally as SGLUT-1. As the name
indicates, this molecule transports both glucose and sodium ion into
the cell and in fact, will not transport either
alone"http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/digestion/smallgut/abso...

It's a great theory but the reality is that most bio-chemists with any
sense of reality do not subscribe to the theory. The sdium pump is
physically impossible. It is a myth.
