I just finished writing something up about how actually it's hard to go wrong reducing the amount of salt in the diet, actually. I sold it, so I can't post it here, but essentially, until that point I walked around saying yeah but I don't have high blood pressure and we know there's nothing wrong

> I dunnodiet books can get too confusing. "Good Calories, Bad Calories" isn't a diet book in the sense that it promises that if you eat "X" and don't eat "Y" all your problems will be solved. It is mainly a historical outline of the heart disease debate, why cholesterol isn't the enemy it's

I think it will. I believe intense cardio keeps the plaque from building. I have no facts to back that up but my years of intense training kept my arteries clean as a whistle. I'm sure there are studies, how many pro athletes get heart disease in old age? I'm going to google it... . On Thu, Mar

I don't really like fresh cow's milk. It's so...thick and...fatty. And...in some places it's actually difficult to get grass fed stuff like you're talking about. Wonder what those people do? I'm on a totally processed foods diet with food bought outside. I may do a steak now and again for myself
