.
For sure!

I use habaneros to make my ‘cayenne’ tinctures. They are quite hot and there are places that you do not want to touch after handling them, but used in moderation they are delicious and quite edible.

Not the royal we, nor the royal me, the collective we in solidarity.

Solidarity of consuming junk water?

Knowingly?

No wonder Obama got elected.

That would depend on what you’ve been eating, and how much damage it has done to your health.

Eating the right diet is the only thing that can possibly make you healthier, or keep you healthy. No drug will ever improve your health, that’s for sure.

No, Obama got elected because so many people think as imprecisely as you and think what they think is the only way to think.

Get a life.

I have a life and I’m trying to offer one to you.

You’re working on a drugstore level of comprehension, and I’m trying to elevate that.

Where did you get that data?

As I read it, the only large scale study of salt conducted in recent decades not only refutes everything you said, but shows it may cause the person following such a diet heart damage.

I have followed research relating to sodium in nutrition for twenty-five years. I have never been an adherent to any fad diet. The medical practitioners in the area that I most admire are Caldwell Esselstyn and Dean Ornish. Dr. Ornish has recently discussed evidence that salt (sodium chloride) is more harmful than other substances containing sodium. I have yet to research this further.

The information that I cite is from my own research for personal purposes, so I do not have citations at my finger tips.

Fad diet adherents have huge volumes of citations to support their respective positions. They are impossible for one person to counter.

Over the years, in order to remove saturated fat, poly-unsaturated fat, sodium and cholesterol from my diet, I have become a vegetarian and, finally a vegan. The biggest challenge for me sticking to a vegan diet has been learning how to select and prepare varied, interesting, flavorful and delicious vegan meals. It has taken me years to achieve this. Because of the rapid growth of advice on the Net, today's learning process would be much shorter.

My personal benefits have been lower LDL, higher HDL/LDL, lower systolic/diastolic, lower weight, ability to eat as much as I wish, and a great fit with exercise, making a close-to-ideal physique, and all the benefits thereof, much easier to attain.

If you have an interest in heading in that direction, PM me.

Thanks, your explanation is citation enough.

BTW, you do know that the low salt diet is, in fact, one of the latest fads in nutrition?

That was one of the points of the article, along with the facts on salt consumption for those who are concerned about heart disease.
