Why is increasing salt sugar or fat for taste not always correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It can disturb disease-based restrictions
Taste enhancement must be compatible with the patient’s condition. Extra salt may worsen sodium restriction, extra sugar may raise glucose or energy intake, and extra fat may conflict with fat or calorie limits. Safer approaches include suitable herbs, spices, acidity, aroma, texture, temperature, and approved low-sodium or low-sugar products, selected according to the prescription and patient tolerance.
