Salt – can’t they make up their minds?

The more things that scientists tell us, the more they are true keep changing: like NaCL usage

…liberal use of the salt shaker might actually be more of a cure than a curse when it comes to human health, according to new research.

The study, published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), followed health trends in 3,681 individuals over a median of almost 8 years, and found that a higher sodium intake was actually associated with a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and that the amount of salt consumed had no correlation with hypertension.

Salt.  First started off as a way to make ye olde dinner taste good and was found to be a great preservative (aka, salted cod).  Then it was bad.  Then it was good.  Then public officials decided it was bad.  Then they tried to outlaw it (even as some, like uber-elitist Mayor Bloomberg of NYC, tell US to cut down even as they use it personally via 50 lb bags).

Now, it turns out – that is gonna kill us!

And they think they know the answer to climate change global warming?  Nay, fair readers – all we have is really good scientists who have specialized in tax extraction yield programs targeting gullible politicians.

Please, don’t tell TMEW about this?  She’ll never let me forget this – to her, NaCl is a food group all of its own…
