[QUOTE=Rangergxi;40944822]Not consuming salt and diluting it with water seems like the common sense solution.[/QUOTE]
Seems I skipped over a section in the article, but yeah seems they administrated sugar water.
Wow. That's fucking crazy, I seriously had no idea soy sauce was that fucked up.
I'm more likely to consume an entire wad of Meat Salad from Epic Meal Time rather than drink this shit.

It's not.
Someone should have told him about sweet soy sauce.

Ban salt.
Well that was fairly stupid. Good thing he came out alive and unharmed.
[QUOTE=mochisushi;40946156]It could also be the extremely high concentrations of monosodium glutamate that soy sauce contains.[/QUOTE]
"Extremely high concentrations" is extremely misleading. High compared to what? If you want to compare the content of sodium by mass, then:
[quote]The sodium content (in mass percent) of MSG is roughly a third of the amount (12%) than in sodium chloride (39%).
Yamaguchi S, Takahashi C (January 1984). "Interactions of monosodium glutamate and sodium chloride on saltiness and palatability of a clear soup". Journal of Food Science 49 (1): 82?85. doi:10.1111/j.1365-2621.1984.tb13675.x[/quote]
Of course when you drink an entire quart of it, you're going to get hypernatremia.

[QUOTE=Dysgalt;40944627]How do you treat an overdose on salt? I'm thinking you would pump the stomach or make the guy piss like a race horse.[/QUOTE]
[quote]Hypernatremia is generally not caused by an excess of sodium, but rather by a relative deficit of free water in the body.
The cornerstone of treatment is administration of free water to correct the relative water deficit. Water can be replaced orally or intravenously. Water alone cannot be administered intravenously (because of osmolarity issue), but rather can be given with addition to dextrose or saline infusion solutions. However, overly rapid correction of hypernatremia is potentially very dangerous. The body (in particular the brain) adapts to the higher sodium concentration. Rapidly lowering the sodium concentration with free water, once this adaptation has occurred, causes water to flow into brain cells and causes them to swell. This can lead to cerebral edema, potentially resulting in seizures, permanent brain damage, or death. Therefore, significant hypernatremia should be treated carefully by a physician or other medical professional with experience in treatment of electrolyte imbalance, specific treatment like ACE inhibitors in heart failure and corticosteroids in nephropathy also can be used.

Ban soy sauce!
Please won't someone think of the children!

I point out MSG not for it's sodium content. It's an excitotoxin, it overexcites neurons, causing them to die out. Some people get headaches after small doses of MSG. Also, soy sauce, relative to other foods contains high amounts of MSG.
