OT: red meat is bad for you and bad for the planet...

So if you aren't eating like a world class body builder you aren't eating healthy? By the same logic you should be dead lifting hundreds of pounds and gulping gallons of protein shakes (which are made from vegetables, not meat). Do you?

I'm not familiar with that country. Third world I take it? I'm surprised you don't have other, more pressing problems like finding sodium free food and patching holes in boats to escape to another country.

There's always those who just like to stir the pot even if they don't see it boil.

UK and US salt recommendation for a healthy heart is not more than

6g/day for adults and ideally under 1.5g longer term.

20oz = 0.57kg = 19g/day 3x the upper limit for a normal healthy adult. Unless you work in a boiler room or hot glass furnace there is something very odd going on.

However, you can easily overload the kidneys with salty food and high blood sodium converts causes high blood pressure and kidney damage.

You can easily consume far too much in today's high processed food environment where there is salt and sugar in almost everything.

Lowering sodium intake is preferable to continuing to eat too much salt and taking blood pressure medication (unless you have shares in pharma). Cheapest blood pressure medication is essentially a diuretic.

Maintaining the right potassium and sodium electrolyte balance is essential to good health. Potassium is rarer but sodium is so common in nature that the problem is always getting rid of the excess.

Salt is exceptionally common in highly processed junk food.

Who said that I was healthy? I need the salt to replace the sodium lost bec ause of prescription medications. It flushes sodium and potassium out of my body and I have to replace it. I made the mistake of listening to a so cal led doctor. I now have scar tissue covering most of my lower legs from the pressure ulcers that it caused. Over 50 open wounds that refused to heal, u ntil I started using enough salt.

There are probably better ways to keep warm. CO2 absorption is in some narrow bands and is logarithmic on concentration.

Well, I'm sure if we're honest we've all made that costly mistake at one time or another in our lives, Michael. I was brought up to be unquestioning of doctors; they were invariably right, my parents assured me! That faith took a long time and a lot of nasty surprises to dispel. They are, after all, only human and consequently worse than useless at times. FAR worse, in fact, given the damage they are at liberty to do.

Broccoli, peas, beans, yogurt have potassium. I get leg cramps if I don't get enough. Bananas really work for me. They are radioactive, of course.

Blueberries and eggs and sugar in the batter, dumped over pecans and banana slices scorched in butter. Try to flip, sort of.

Parts are blackened, parts are raw batter. I put a big platter on the table and let people fight over their favorite parts.

I know a French artist who visits and insists on this. Plus my red beans and rice. I assumed he'd sneer at my barbarian cooking.

He does a dynamite roasted chicken. He puts the heels of a french baguette, with some herbs and garlic, in the cavity instead of dressing. It's seriously good.

Interestingly however the consumption of cholesterol seems to contribute only minimally to arterial plaques. So say more recent studies than the

1960's ones that recommended against eating it because it's what the plaques are made of.

On the other hand, systemic inflammation seems to be the cause of arterial plaque build-up. It's what make the available cholesterol bind to the plaques. It has many other side-effects too, some of them worse, and it's much harder to do anything about than to stop eating so much cholesterol.

Yes, and increasingly so I'm sorry to say.

It's already taken care of. I plan ahead.

Try that when you have to sleep, on an office chair. I haven't been able to sleep laying down for over five years. I wake up screaming in pain, lou d enough to scare my neighbors. :(

Actually, it is the potassium-40 they contain that's radioactive, so if you need the potassium, the radioactivity is - in practice - an unavoidable co nsequence.

You could - in theory - make potassium-40 depleted potassium-39. You'd lose the 6.7% of the equally stable potassium-41, which wouldn't be a problem, but the process would be expensive.

But it stays in the atmosphere for roughly 800 years. Methane is better, but it gets oxidised to CO2 and water which gives it a half life of seven year in the atmosphere.

It's what nature uses to switch us between ice ages (180ppm CO2 in the atmosphere) and interglacials (270ppm). Ice sheets over most of the more northern parts of the northern hemisphere are another part of the prescription.

does seem to have been driven by methane release, but that took place over a few thousand years, which meant that the heating was driven by the excess CO2 generated from the methane within a few years of it's release.

Granting Cursitor Doom's capacity to latch onto nonsense that he finds attractive, the doctor's version of this story might show the doctor in a better light.

Gullible twits do have a touching faith in the scam artists that rip them off, and disapprove - rather strongly - of people who insult them by pointing out to them that they are being suckered.
