Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Salty food does not lead to loss of fluid from the body tissues. In fact, consuming salty food can lead to water retention and increase thirst due to the body's attempt to balance the excess salt intake. The other options (diarrhea, vomiting, and bleeding) can all result in fluid loss and subsequently lead to thirst.
