American culture has pendulum syndrome. A study on carb intake and weight gain caused a no carb frenzy. A scandal with left wing politics causes everyone to move tot the right. A study on organics and health suddenly puts a halo around all organic food, whether it is an organic twinkie or chip. A middle ground is what America needs.
I have POTS, a severe salt deficiency. As an athlete I have been getting nutritional advice all my life. Probably because of an exploited study juxtaposing salt intake with heart disease, none of that advise included salt as an electrolyte. Dr Timchack, who is successfully helping me with the deficiency confirmed the exaggeration that salt is the problem. She said that it is the food volume that comes with most high salt meals. Imagine that! Too much of anything is bad. Maybe the pendulum could just stay in the middle now?
