Salt is healthy after all July 12, 2013 9:13 am SteveS

Mineral salts are the key.

Another example of the political Bloomberg’s of the world and there junk ideology imposed on the people and corporations gone sour. The big problem besides government infringement on our consumption of foods is all the money wasted by the government, and the money wasted by food manufactories trying to comply.

CDC Admits Long-Standing Error in Medical Science – There Is No Benefit In Reducing Salt Intake And It May Even Be Dangerous

A recent report commissioned by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) reviewed the health benefits of reducing salt intake and the take-home message is that salt, in the quantities consumed by most Americans, is no longer considered a substantial health hazard. What the CDC study reported explicitly is that there is no benefit, and may be a danger, from reducing our salt intake below 1 tsp per day.

Salt is the most common and readily available nonmetallic mineral in the world. So how could a mineral which we’ve bathed in and absorbed in all foods since our existence be so harmful for the human body? Two words. It isn’t. Actually, the opposite is true. A low salt diet will actually increase your risk of death.

And Michelle Obama is still trying to demand what children in schools should eat.
