Yeah, I thought this was well documented. Societies with very low salt intake have low blood pressure, like tribes in the Amazon. Societies with high salt intake have high blood pressure (an area of Japan comes to mind). Lowering an individual's salt intake lowers blood pressure. Now, the salt you put on your food constitutes something like 10% of total salt intake. You need to avoid foods with high salt levels, and these days that's almost everything.

Thank you so much for providing that authoritative source backing up your claim.

Right, because if these guys didn't find it, it must not exist. I wonder if you've even read that "insidious" book.

Cool story, bro.

No, but I did build an ipad out of legos.

Came here to say this. Glad to see someone else as pedantic as I.

And you can somehow tell how much better off they'd be with the embargo lifted by walking around and looking at things? How did you come by this superpower?

So we should open trade with Cuba so they become a free and open vassal state to the US?

I must be doing it wrong.

Thank you so much for your uninformed opinion.

What part of the country do you think it is?

He was also young and a world class athlete. Telling people to be like Phelps isn't very helpful. From my experience, solving weight issues is easier through diet than exercise. Food, mostly high fat and high sugar food, is everywhere. We live in a world of super overabundance, and it's hard for many people to turn down cupcakes and brownies at every turn. If you looked up the calories for all those things you've been eating, you'd know you can't just work off an extra 2 or 3 thousand calories each and every day. Learn to say no to things you know are bad for you. You still need to be active, but you don't need to be an Olympian athlete.

Quite a fucking stretch on that one, buddy. Just shows how desperate you are to blame everything on him.

lolwut?

Are you really so naive to think this isn't going on?
