‘Eating a diet high in salt may not be as bad for you as first thought and could even reduce chances of heart disease.
An eight-year study by scientists in Belgium found that people who ate lots of salt were no more likely to suffer problems with heart disease or high blood pressure than people who ate less salt.
The findings ‘certainly do not support the current recommendation to lower salt intake in the general population,’ said Dr. Jan Staessen, of the University of Leuven in Belgium…’
Surprise, surprise….not. Wabbit is not young and has consistently ignored all advice concerning diet. And is on zero medication. None. Nada. BP normal. Every other damn indicator normal. And his idea of “enough” salt approaches something which looks like a Siberian snowdrift. Always has. Goes with lashings of butter, fried food etc etc. But it seems to me there’s a key to all this diet stuff—don’t eat more than you need!
And you don’t need half as much as you think you do.
