At the risk of coming off like I’m criticizing, wasn’t I told to substitute my choices of fats, with margarine, and low-fat alternatives that were instead laden with other problems ? Oh, and the sugar alternatives like aspartame, and Splenda?
Forgive my skepticism. But I’m much healthier after a decade of going back to butter, sugar, and less processed foods? My medical chart is all I need for confirmation of my choices.
Encouraging news though.
There are no studies linking salt with any health issues. It's just a lunacy of one very loud man.
There are copious studies showing the link between excess salt and hypertension and heart disease. This has been well established for decades

Yeah, but high sodium means you eat kilos of it every day. No one does that. NO ONE!
