CDC: Turns Out There’s No Benefit to Reducing Salt At All
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh crud. I better start reducing my intake of sale. Right away. If the CDC says there is “No Benefit to Reducing Salt At All’, then I better reduce.
The CDC.
~hocc ptui~
No, now they’re telling us fish oil supplements promote prostate cancer.
I figure that my salt use is for preservation.
I figure that my salt intake is for preservation.
And I heard that additional fish oil cause prostrate cancer in men. Sooner or later the sheeple will tire of all the junk science and those that "Know what's best for YOU".
All those crappy bland Moochelle fries for naught...
***Because arrogant, controlling people, who really should just be kindergarten teachers***
Sounds like a NYC mayor I know.
So here is the current medical thinking: Exercise regularly, maintain a low body mass index, don’t smoke, drink alcohol only in moderation, keep cholesterol in goal range, eat fruits and vegetables, consume only “approved” medicines and supplements.
Do this and you are likely to live to age 85 at which point you’ll have a 50% likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s disease and then you won’t care about anything...

Great... now I will not feel guilty about eating potato chips.
My tagline.
In addition to the restrictions mentioned in the article, kidney problems should have been mentioned as well.
This reminds me of Algore telling us that trace amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere are going to cause the earth to burn to a crisp.
Yeah, yeah. And eggs and sugar are bad for ya too.
And THAT article is based on this May 14th CDC scientific study. And that study appears to have been a compilation of results from other studies...
The true believers will not believe this and keep preaching the old way.
I remember when tomahtoes were gonna kill you, but that was when they were vegetables, before they became fruits.
So, everybody goes back to using salt, then a little later, oh, no, salt is evil again and everybody should ban salt (Mayor Bloomberg for instance). Now, again, oops, we were wrong.
Can we just stop listening to these people. The last time we went thru something like this (I think is was the avian flu thingy), I ended up deciding that the Govt. and the media want to keep us hysterical. Because, then, we are looking to the Govt. to DO SOMETHING!
This illustrates a problem with EVERY form of singular top expert authorities on ANYTHING - making them the top offical experts does not make them right.
What we need is to reject the paradigm that accepts the creation of and authority given to “top official experts” of any kind.
We need “expert information” and dissemination of it, but single source, a single top offical source does not provide ALL the best expert information, it presents an official orthodoxy, that’s all.
