20. I simply don't believe it...

First, those that want to salt, salt, salt their foods...GO FOR IT! In fact, ADD even MORE!!!!! And let us know how that's
working out for you in the future.

Second, I can feel numerous things going on in my body when I consume foods heavy in sodium...headaches...swelling of
my hands and/or feet...my lips and mouth "burn"...being really thirsty...to name a few.

No one, even this study will ever convince me that a diet "higher" in whole foods, whole grains, minimally processed foods,
limiting meats, limiting sugars and "white" carbs and limiting your sodium intake...is not better for you than living
on processed foods/fast food/canned and frozen prepared foods.

Yup! Call me a non-believer.

For those that love all that salt, soda, Whoppers...eat away...but don't expect me to contribute one single penny towards your
eventually needed healthcare.

p.s...bottom line, cook from scratch.
