[TheForge] Forge welding...The unfortunate truth OT:

Actually, research is starting to point a finger at high fructose sugars causing most high blood pressure issues not stemming from natural genetic defects.  Also they point out that most table salt has been overprocessed and has very little nutritional value.

You mean you EAT those things!?  Ewww...

No wonder you needed surgery!

I'm constantly amazed by the nutritional misinformation given out by
official sources.   Salt, for example, is a necessary nutrient.  A
very few people get blood pressure spikes from eating salt (acc'd to
the CDC, personal communication), but the vast majority do not.
Otherwise, salt only increases blood pressure if you eat an
uncomfortable amount of it w/o drinking an appropriate amount of water
-- saline poisoning, in other words.  Salt tablets, or better,
Thermotab (TM) tablets, are good for you if you sweat off too much
salt.  (This happens on hot days in the smith -- blacksmithing contetn
-- and results in muscle cramps.)

Yet "they" persist on insisting we cut the salt in our diets, and NYC
wants to mandate it (or maybe has already).  The basic false
assumption seems to be that we all survive entirely on processed
foods, fast foods, and the like, which do tend to be over-salted.  I
avoid that stuff (but not like a vegan avoids meat).  I don't think
I've LOOKED at a pop tart for 15 or years or more.  Not "undressed"
anyway!
