2021 The Year of Reaping

[The Conservative]

Dude, how many biochem & nutrition classes have you taken? (Reader's Digest articles don't count.)

Answer me this, and go from there. The salt content and other preservatives thrown into most "box prepared" food is what on average?

Dude, I know all about salt; what do you want to know? (Do you have high BP?)

No, mine is better than most. 114/65 was my last one.

NaCl ions control the flow of H2O into the bloodstream; the more water volume, the higher the BP; the higher the BP, the harder the heart has to work to pump blood, plus stretching the arteries and allowing cholesterol plaque to build up in the vessels. But without salt, you die.

When the average food made and put into a box has an average percentage of salt or other preservatives of 9% or greater per volume, what does that mean?

Like I said, unless you have high BP, nothing. And it certainly doesn't contribute to getting fat.

No, I just take care of myself, and my family. If you want boasting look all through this forum, there is enough to go around

Might want to rethink that, because the government says it does.

Dude, most people have high BP from being fat.

[SuburbanFarmer]

My sentences or the ones from the internet?

Pretending that the common term ‘processed food’ is synonymous with food preparation.

So, both.

It’s the same trick they use to ‘define’ a GMO as ‘anything that was selected for breeding by humans’.

I am technically obese by the doctor's terms... I weigh 225, I'm not "fat" I have 114/64 (give or take) blood pressure, everything thing else is where it should be or better than "normal"... I also do a lot of physical labor and exercises when I am not doing IT work, so I would be very cautious what you call obese.

My son is recognized as overweight too... it's 42" tall, 45lbs. So please, don't use standards as an excuse...

[Martin Hash]

Oh, yeah, I’ll certainly quit using standards.

[Martin Hash]

Fat people without high BP can certainly get high BP by indulging in salt.
