Do you hear that? LOW SODIUM LEVELS MIGHT BE DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEART......

Just another reason to ignore the Obamas, the mainstream media, and the rest of the liberal establishment.

I salt my food to taste... and I could care less if liberals don’t like the fact I hate bland food.

Oh good grief.

Honestly, that anybody takes these people seriously at all any more amazes me.

Standing on a soap box in front of the courthouse, yelling about how the world is going to end. That’s all the MSM is, or has ever been, since time immemorial.

Yelling “fire” in a crowded theater - and then enjoying the stampede - is all these people do. It’s what gets them out of bed every morning.

This wouldn’t be the first such result. The notion that too much salt is unhealthy was never really restec on good science. It was more of a suspicion, combined with the notion that it couldn’t hurt to tell people to cut it. Like much of the standard nutritional advice. But as we’ve seen, it can cause harm to tell people to reduce elements of their diet.

Nobody ate more salt than my dad. He would occasionally make pancakes or oatmeal for us kids and the taste salt had to be covered with extra syrup or brown sugar respectively. He had the salt shaker going during meals. He lived to be 91 and it wasn’t his heart that got him.

So we are at the point now where pretty much everything I was told not to eat in the 1970s — eggs, salt, whole milk, meat — is now not only OK to eat, but not eating it may hurt me. Isn’t it wonderful that we have a government that tells us what to do?

God made our bodies to use sodium and other minerals, so I think that salt is good for the body, now if we intake too much, just like anything it’s probably not good.

"Funding was supported by the NIH. The authors reported no relevant financial conflicts with industry."

So the study wasn't funded by Big Salt?

Jesus said that salt is good. Never felt the need to look into it further.

Screw the salt Nazis. Low salt diets were krap a half century ago and they’re krap now. I settled this with my own personal Quack during my annual physicals long ago. The test is this in my case at least: If I don’t get enough salt during the day I wake up at the stroke of midnight with a Charley Horse. The fix is to limp to the kitchen and lick a few sprinkles of salt out of my palm. It doesn’t take more than 30 seconds for the Horse to start clearing and the reason is the salt starts absorbing on the way down the esophagus. The other half of the coin is that if I get too much salt I hear it in my ears. That’s fixed by drinking a little extra water.

So the salt Nazis can kiss my bleep. And Oh, BTW, the sugar Nazis can suck my popsicle for all the same reasons. It’s all about eating a balanced diet, folks.

I still remember taking salt tablets after football practice and gym in high school.

Not to mention ‘water discipline’. Boy, were we thirsty after working out several hours and running 5 miles.

The first salvo by our new death panels.

Next they’ll say adhesive ducks in your shower floor are dumb.

And you should run with scissors.

Isn't this funny, everything they told us was bad for us is actually good for us, Beef ( in moderation and Paleo ), Coconut Oil, and I am still waiting for it to be declared a miracle food, Bacon!!!!

Or is it the ninny-nannies wanted all the good food for themselves....

Duh, low sodium can quickly be fatal to any animal. High sodium, well it will make you very thirsty, but I have never heard of anyone dying from it.

Our bodies know what they need. If you eat to much salt, most of it will get flushed away with your urine, because the body tends not to retain what it doesn’t need.
