Is it true that I should eat without salt during pregnancy?

No, this is completely false. Salt provides the body with essential minerals such as chlorine and sodium, although it should be taken in moderation and not in excess.

It is best to use iodised salt, as this will also provide the iodine necessary for pregnancy.
