Amen.. One instance where the WSJ is actually correct.
I have a co-worker who eats at least two ham sandwiches every day. Can’t be good.
Salt isn’t as bad as we used to believe..................
Exactly. And, while we are required to post only excerpts for many sites, I find myself disappointed so often by posters who just C&P the first few paragraphs instead of snipping here and there to present the worthwhile content.
:) Yes, abuse of the word “literally” abounds.
We now know that the onset of those diseases were mostly because of poor teeth and gum care, which becomes a portal to all kinds of maladies, given that this was long before high quality dental care products were available. It was not from eating ancient grains.
For real, or are you joking?
What the U.S. is missing (in its COVID response) is sufficient health-focused “soft power”: proactive, vigorous, coordinated, well-funded preventive and public health actions outside of the acute health care system. . To improve the nation’s health, soft power should include education, surveillance and monitoring, scientific research, public health leadership and infrastructure. Systems for interagency coordination and schools and workplace environments that promote health should be implemented in this soft power approach. Additionally, soft power should encompass community urban design, a healthy food system that not only ensures food security but is also sustainable in its production. Moreover, vaccines, tax policy and other economic incentives that reward consumers’ healthier choices and businesses that produce healthier products. Policy should include taxation of hazardous products, child-resistant packaging, product labeling, and quality and safety standards for air, water, housing, food products, toys, mattresses, cars, and much more.
Heh, heh. Good one.
Deli meats don't enter into it.
I love Dave’s Killer Bread!
We also get a half loaf of “Rustik” sourdough at Safeway which probably isn’t nutritious, but it sure is good.
LOL 😆. we had a woman who owned a resteraunt in town that we ate at every noontime- she used to wear t-shirt that said
“healthfood ÷>=*, at my age, I need all the preservatives I can get”
I eat one per day, but with just 3 thin slices of ham, Swiss cheese, and some egg. But gonna have to quit or reduce the ham even further because of the salt and protein being hard on kidneys. Now I have to “label shop” and figure out meals with low sodium and protein and phosphates and low potassium- gonna have to give up my beloved Dr Thunder too soda uggh.
[[:) Yes, abuse of the word “literally” abounds.]]
That is literally true. (Sorry, someone had to say it, and I’m just th3 dork to do so)
Saturated fat isn’t a problem either. It is almost always “studied” as part of a high-carb diet. Fat isn’t bad for you but fat PLUS lots of sugar is a very deadly combination.
Just another ‘researcher’ scrounging around for paper material and/or government grants. He seems like to me the kind of liberal that gets off on eating pseudomeat like “The Impossible Burger.” No doubt he’s not seen the filthy conditions that stuff is processed under (as seen in recent articles here.)
I feel better if I take salt supplements. Preferably a balanced electrolyte supplement. I sweat a lot and rarely eat processed foods. A lot of time a “carb craving” disappears after some salt.
“because of the salt and protein being hard on kidneys”
If a person doesn’t have kidney disease, salt and protein aren’t a problem.
Does a High Protein Diet cause Kidney Disease? [WARNING: Myth Alert]:

Protein and kidney health - Diet Doctor:

“The first observational study followed 2,255 patients aged 60-80 with a history of myocardial infarction (heart attack). They filled out a standard food frequency questionnaire (which as we have reported before is frequently inaccurate and unreliable) and followed the GFR (a laboratory measurement of kidney function) after 41 months.
Observational trials like this provide weak data compromised by uncontrolled confounding variables. For instance, in this study those who ate more than 1.2 grams per kg of body weight per day (g/kg/d) of protein averaged 2,250 calories per day. Those who ate less than 0.8g/kg/d averaged 1,346 calories per day. That is an almost 1,000 calories per day difference!
But wait, there’s more. The higher-protein consumers also ate 268 grams of carbohydrates per day, compared to 173 grams per day for the lower-protein consumers. Finally, the high-protein group also ate 1,300 mg more sodium than the lower-protein group. While sodium may not be all that important on a low-carb diet, on a higher-carb diet, sodium intake likely does correlate with poor health outcomes.
Interestingly, the authors concluded that the higher-protein group had a more rapid decline in kidney function. But here’s the best part. We can also conclude that the group that ate more carbohydrates or sodium had the more rapid decline in kidney function. They just happened to all be the same group.”

Same video I posted above but starting at 35 minutes, discussing their diet of mainly bread:

Just leave it all the hell alone.
This is nothing more than codswallop disguised as some kind of headline emergency by some academic getting his 15 minutes of attention (not fame)so he can continue his job. And promoted by someone who passes for a journalist grasping for another story, no matter how insignificant. Both are jobs that need to be done without drama or fanfare.
