This statistic presents the results of a survey among American adults regarding their likeliness to actively include or avoid salt in their diet. Some 35 percent of U.S. adults stated to actively try to include salt in their diet.
The original question was rephrased and was originally posed as follows: Thinking about the food you eat, for each of the following please say if it is something you actively try to include in your diet, something you actively try to avoid, or something you don’t think about either way.
Percentages do not add up to 100 percent due to rounding.
