Never bought into the anti-salt hysteria. I have taken fish oil suppliments, though.

Good points, but he’s misstating the fish oil study when he says that the cancers were elevated in those who took the supplements. They were elevated in those who had the Omega 3’s in the blood.

Of course, these new studies may be reversed in two years, and everyone will say the “old” (presently new) studies were wrong.

I think coffee has alternated between good and bad for you at least three times.

It might be simpler to ask what—if anything—the feral government has told us that isn't a lie or a conclusion based on fake science.

What, if you permit me to ask another question in the same vein, has the feral government actually accomplished since we went to the moon? Has it actually succeeded at a single task or vaunted "war" it's undertaken? It seems to me it fails at everything it touches.

I long gave up on all this crap. I’m sick of food snobs.

Nothing is really so bad or so good for you. It all evens out. 1 “great” food is bad in 1 way. Another “bad” food is good in some way.

The information about Omega-3 is somewhat off.

To start with, years ago the American Medical Association began enormous statistical surveys of doctors and nurses, where they noted that men who consumed fish once a week had a huge drop in the number of *one* type of heart attack.

A particularly acute type of heart attack, sometimes called “dead before you hit the floor”. However, they did not find any correlation with other forms of heart disease.

But soon, others *extrapolated* all sorts of health benefits from consuming fish oil. It is *these* the current study is likely challenging.

The original study also noted little or no benefit from consuming *more* fish oil than once a week.

Yet people are extremists, so hold to the notion that “If a little is good, more is better!”

Well, maybe not.
