What NOW.... Is everything the heart docs been telling me incorrect ?   Well, yeah, Duh !.

This Forbidden Indulgence Could Actually Spare You a Heart Attack 

 I have to say, I read this article on Dr. Mercola's site.... earth shattering info for those of us with heart issues, and for everyone else too.  http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/02/17/dangers-of-salt-restriction.aspx?e_cid=20120217_DNL_art_2

I yam blown away, but why ?  I have a hard time believing much of what the medical establishment pushes, anyway.  Read it and draw you own conclusions.  Here's the basics

Story at-a-glance

  • The Weston A. Price Foundation has warned the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that plans for dietary salt restriction pose a serious threat to human health
  • High-quality salt is essential for life, but in the United States it has been vilified as a cause of high blood pressure and heart disease; these latter claims have failed to be proven conclusively, as have many purported benefits of a low-salt diet
  • Recent research has linked salt restriction with increased heart failure and insulin resistance leading to diabetes
  • The best salt for your health is natural and unrefined, not heavily processed (which is the type used in most processed foods)
