Low fat diets are another myth of the medical profession. Just like low sodium. God only knows how many people die because of these phony inventions. Why would any one go to a medical doctor for nutrition advice anyhow? The doctors spend millions attacking vitamin salesmen and nutritionists, etc. I recently saw another “study” that “proved” that vitamins don’t help people. How can anyone take a profession seriously that perpetrates such fraud through cooked studies?
Actually, low sodium helped mr. mm get off blood pressure medication, which they wanted him to take because of moderate blood pressure and it’s not a ridiculously low sodium diet either.
It doesn’t work for everyone though, it has to be the kind of hypertension that is caused by sodium.
I agree about not trusting the medical profession. They’ve changed their song about so many issues so much over the last several years that when they come out with a *new* finding, I’m pretty skeptical about it (actually, I’m getting to the point where I just don’t believe it)
