Beef Jerky

[inveterate]

One of my health nut friends say that i'm going to die from eating too much of this stuff. But i've been consuming 4 oz of it perday for the past 8 years. Is it really bad for me??

Jerky usually has a lot of sodium.

you're gonna die at the age of 39...and if you're past that...you're gonna die within a week.

Yes, it is bad (sodium) but only the wealthy could afford to eat enough to affect their health.

edit: oh, you're wealthy?................oops.

How much sodium is in 4 oz ?

Need to see the nutritional info but I would guess a high percentage of the daily requirement.

Those ramen flavor packets are loaded with sodium too

Everything in moderation, my friend.

That's a lotta salt. The problem with high salt intake is, other than the arterial and heart disease, it really does a number on your bones. Eats 'em right up.

make yoru own, its easy, all you need is a cheap 10$ food dehydrrator
tastes better and its better for you

Man, tell your friend to fvck off, there are a billion other things that can cause you to die. (such as the smog from driving a car)


Don't you know that there are kids in 3rd world countries starving? JUST EAT IT.

The jerky I'm eating right now has 20% of your daily sodium intake per serving. Each serving is 1 oz. You are eating a hell of a lot of sodium.

 

[drinkmorejava]

then again, if I had to die from a condition related to too much sodium, I'd eat more beef jerky

 

[Dunbar]

Unless you have hypertension, there's absolutely nothing wrong with salt. Numerous studies have proven this, don't believe the salt nazis. Only thing to watch out for is MSG.

I love beef jerky, it's a great portable source of lean protein. It is expensive though.

 

[Montano]

no more damn jerky beef !!

 

[lizardth]

Make your own! It tastes sooooooooooooo much better then that store bought crap.

 

[AMCRambler]

Doesn't excess salt intake lead to kidney stones too? Or am I thinking of calcium? Anyways, get one of those and you'll wish you were dead!

Very lean beef + high sodium. You'll be fine. It is 1000 times better for you than your friend's Big Mac.

no all you need is a electronic food dehydrator,

just marinate the meat in whatever mix of stuff you want and dehydrate it, its simple

i use soy sauce, liquid smoke, salt pepper, a lil oil and some brown suggar, get a rump roast, cut it up into strips and marinate it over night and then dehydrate it till its done
