Hah that's the first time in these 10+ years, or whatever it has been, that I've seen him explain himself. You're slippin captain, no need to explain.

salt is great.. especially the real shit that still has all the trace minerals and so forth

iodized table salt is the wonderbread version

Yes but surely nobody is relying on a few grains of salt for their nutrition lol?





I'm skeptical about the Low-Salt diet article and their conclusion. The article doesn't give enough information, but it sounds like it's an observational study, which is fine for a preliminary study, but you really want an interventional study, where they can prove it both ways (by putting low salt people onto higher salt diets, and high salt people onto lower salt diets, to see if the results match, or to tease out another factor).

I'd say what might be happening here is that the low salt group might be eating processed foods with the "salt reduced!" label, which often means the salt has been replaced with something like oil, sugar or even some weird chemicals.

We don't know what the research had controls in for. Were they all alcoholics? It doesn't say. Was this research funded by the industry? Doesn't say. Those bastards do some very clever things in order to get the results they want. E.g.

A recent egg study suggested that eggs don't increase your cholesterol levels, and the results definitely indicated that it was true - BUT having a closer a look at details, it showed that all of the participants of the study already had their cholesterol at it's maximum limit, so no matter what they ate, it couldn't go up any higher. Pretty damn sneaky.


It's really hard to know what to trust. But I'd go by the rule of: Don't eat anything processed, and mostly whole plant foods(beans, greens, grains, potatoes, rice, fruits and veg etc) and you'll be fine. The reason being is that isolated individual minerals and nutrients don't really help us. There is something in the way they act in unison with the other 10's of thousands of other minerals in a whole food (e.g. a tomato) that activates them and allows the body to use them - including salt which occurs naturally in almost all food.

Star Trek Pew Pew Pew.

:\

First a trailer with "Sabotage" as the song (which is a great song, but not for Star Trek). And now we have a trailer that starts with a piano key and ends with a BWWWWWAAAAA.

There is nothing Star Trek about this.

There's a time and a place for stirring the pot. When it tends to be all you do, you're not so much stirring in it but shitting in it, and to act as if shitting in a pot is doing people favors seems kind of delusional.

Shitposting hate at people is not "mocking" them. And are trying to pass it off as some great public service. Hilarious :p

What makes you think anyone will read anything you write? It just goes right back on ignore.

Are we seeing a comeback of AnnointedSword under a different name?

You're a legend in your own mind.

For each interesting post you make, you make five of these condescending, mean-spirited attacks. Would that those ratios were reversed. It's a shame you find such joy in demeaning others.

im just another idiot.. like the vast majority around here - i dont think the same way you "kings of the hill" do.. thats why i mock the top head big shots, thats why i make it look like the shit fucking hate train it is

you see - its not as simple as you all like to think it is... yes the humor is at the expense of your precious little self image - thing is, its really healthy for you to get knocked down a few notches because you are absolutely unable to realize that humble truth without outside assistance

dont worry, i dont want or need your thanks for it, im not looking for any kind of recognition or appelation as a "cool guy" or a "nice person" - thats what makes me so fucking effective at stirring the pot.. maybe you cant understand the purpose in it - but you dont have to, most arent capable of it

you might want to imagine your shit doesnt stink, that you are "worthy" of some social awards ceremony... thats ok - so go ahead and get together with the other monkeys, and the other tribes of monkeys, sling your shit, scramble for those bananas, and so on

this monkey may want a word with you... but hey - you dont have to listen.. shit, i hardly ever do that - just start thinking of "sticks and stones", you know... the things that actually matter

or not.. we can always hash it out to your little hearts content - and i'll spread my seed all over your place

Do we get to take a poll, and then Blue changes it to the winner?

Not completely surprising, salt plays an important role in our body chemistry. That said most people intake way more than is needed, particularly if they're eating any processed foods. I suppose it's something to keep in mind for people going for a misguided extreme low salt diet. For everyone else I suggest you take the findings.... with a grain of salt.

Glad I got to see him in concert when I did. Seeing as he drummed on all the best Megadeth albums and they went downhill shortly after he got canned, coincidence? I think not. Thanks Nick for giving us your best all these years.
