I devoted last week’s post to salt, and to the fact that we consume, to our detriment, two-to-three times our recommended daily upper limit of salt. The bulk of this excess intake comes unnoticed and hidden in processed and restaurant (especially f…

The vast majority of salt—amounting to about 80 percent of daily intake—comes from processed foods. Salt is added to processed foods to achieve a (very salty) taste profile. In many situations adding salt is what makes cheap, un-tasty food palatabl…

I don't use salt when preparing my own food. It was decision I made more than twenty years ago because I don't need it or miss it. It was a way to enjoy natural foods in a more natural way. Still I get enough from some items I might buy.

World Salt Awareness Week starts today, and it’s the perfect time to look at salt and health. Salt runs in the veins of language. There are reminders everywhere of salt’s former glory. The word “salary” is derived from salt (Roman soldiers were…

WOW! Awesome post! This fast food habit made some people buy it not only because is cheap but also because it is convenient. That way, they don't have to spend time cooking at home and washing dishes. But it reached a point where even people who ca…

Great post. The facts are indisputable between Fast Food and its causation to Obesity, and Diabetes. With that being said, as to your sub-header that "But the worst thing about fast-food, in my opinion, is that it’s so cheap!" I think that's the p…

Dr Benjamin’s figure has received more scrutiny and bashing from bloggers and commentators than her exemplary qualifications and achievements." Let's face the brutal truth--life isn't fair. The Surgeon General does "appear" to be overweight. It's l…

David, thanks for the comment. With overweight, the message is to prevent obesity by developing good habits, but if that didn’t happen, and and a patient has extra weight, the advice isn’t really to do whatever is takes to bring you down to a size…

I’m looking forward to a heated discussion on this topic." You got it--First of all, the Surgeon General isn't only, or any politician, appointed or not, not only should promote, implement, initiate, enforce policy, they should embody and represent…

As soon as President Obama announced Dr. Regina Benjamin as his pick for surgeon general last July she came under fire for—can you believe it?—her weight! Dr Benjamin’s figure has received more scrutiny and bashing from bloggers and commentators…

What’s clear is that the structure/function claim has been a boon to food manufacturers. Since there are so few limitations on its use and the trusting public can’t distinguish between a health claim and a structure/function one, why not be creative…

Dear Susana, Thanks for the comment. I also thought Food Inc. was a good film--I'd include it as required material in nutritional education.

WOW! What a great post! Too much information in the report to digest but wonderful. What I do is trying to get all nutrients from natural sources such as raw rolled oats. oat bran, flaxseed (for cereal), fresh bread made at home, natural fresh juic…

What do burgers and fries have to do with diabetes?
