Guys, let’s

get with the science!

It may seem counterintuitive, but a new study review suggests that consuming too little salt could be harmful to heart failure patients.

…. But the new meta-analysis of nine randomized, controlled trials found that restricting dietary sodium intake below the standard recommended maximum of about 2.3 grams per day did not bring additional benefits, and it also may increase the risk of death.

Look, humans

were MADE to eat meat! Anyone who tells you differently is either intentionally or unintentionally giving you bad information. Just look in the mirror at your teeth–omnivore.

I really believe that people can and should decide for themselves what to eat and not eat. Everyone can choose for themselves. THAT is just how I roll.

But the scientific data are quite clear. The best information we have is that a vegetarian or (horrors!) vegan diet is just not optimal for human beings.

Yes, with careful supplementation and care, a person can thrive being vegetarian or perhaps even vegan. Yeah, maybe. But in terms of natural foods, humans are omnivores.

Remember how

we were all told that ONE glass of red wine a day is good for you?

Err, maybe not.

As the research rolls in, it seems to suggest that from a health perspective, the optimal number of weekly drinks is zero.

Look, I really don’t

care if you want to eat vegetarian or vegan. Knock yourself out. As Thomas Jefferson said, “It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.”

But is there an actual health risk to eating meat? No <laughs>. Now YOU do whatever the heck you want! I really don’t care. But I know what the science in general says!
