Scientists say brain is best judge of salt intake: Regulations not needed!
Salt Health ^ | October 19, 2009 | Salt Health

The Pittsburgh Post Gazette reports on a study released on-line in The Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology which indicates that physiology, not public policy, determines a human’s daily sodium intake. This research likely represents a important step forward in light of past and current efforts by government agencies and government funded organizations to set progressively restrictive guidelines for salt intake among U.S. citizens.

The government now wants to control so many aspects of our lives, not only seeking to take over health care, but apparently, also wanting to restrict what we can put into our mouths.

This is important news, which, if substantiated further, could have implications on public policy.

So far, the Blogosphere and cyberspace seems not to have picked up on this - Please help share this important study:

The ultimate in “self rule”, eh?

Well, the “progressives” will have none of THAT!

You’ll be allowed exactly what every other serf is allowed,
and this will be determined by your “betters”.

I've always said this.

Sugar seems to be governed by my brain, too. But that's me....

How come the only time we get to choose something is when we want to abort a baby?

You’d understand why if you step back and look at the main targets of the left and their “father”.

Just ask yourself the question:
“Does this further the destruction of the traditional family?”

If it does, they support it, if not they don’t.

Exactly, a person’s choice to chose for their body is praised when it comes to death of an innocent, but I can’t eat myself to death, but they want me to die off early, but they want to always wear my seatbelt and bike helmets.....

Get some damn consistency already!!!!

Kelloggs has removed a lot of the sugar from frosted flakes, the only kind of cereal I care for and the very reason I liked them was because of that “frosted” business.

Sure I can simply add sugar but it’s not the same any more.

I don’t do them together. First some chocolate. Then after I have finished it, some nice salty chips.

Our youngest is in grad school, but I’s better check with my wife and see if anything is new.
