It doesn't. Getting a heart attack at age 40 does.
Carter Robinson
Why would I reduce sodium intake? There is no link or correlation between consumption in of sodium in adolescence or young adulthood and high blood pressure later in life. There is only a correlation that once your blood pressure becomes high (age/genetics) laying off the salt can help reduce it in some people. Though many people on low sodium diets will still have above average blood pressure. Which in and of itself isn't a nail in the coffin either as being above average doesn't equal unhealthy. Because as we know from stats class an average is just a composition of all the data divided by the number of subjects, not a real or ideal number necessarily. I.e. the avg. American house has 2.5 kids doesn't mean we all have half a severed child in the basement.

>sodium and saturated fats are the cause of health problems associated with diet >it's not the palm oil, soy or any of the artificial chemicals in almost everything we consume
Lincoln Campbell
keep sodium in balance with potassium (which means half as much sodium as potassium).
Saturated fats are great for health and increase HDL cholesterol in ratio to total cholesterol, which affords many benefits to the cardiovascular system.
Trans fats made by ruminants such as cows are not the same as hydrolyzed oils which are the real culprits of the trans fat scare. Don't fear meat and dairy due to trans fats.
Everything else is good advice.

While a causal relationship hasn't been demonstrated in humans (it has been shown in other mammals, such as monkeys and chimps, so it may very well be true for humans, too), there is strong evidence of a linear, dose–response effect of sodium reduction on blood pressure. In addition, the evidence shows that sodium reduction prevents cardiovascular disease. This evidence is based on findings from prospective cohort studies with accurate measurement of usual sodium intake.
You're wrong about blood pressure -- even being prehypertensive increases your risk of suffering from a cardiovascular event.
>According to some studies, prehypertension can increase the risk for heart attacks, strokes, congestive heart failure, and kidney failure.[15][16] One study found that a prehypertensive person is more than three times more likely to have a heart attack and 1.7 times more likely to have heart disease than a person with normal blood pressure.[17] A meta-analysis concluded that prehypertension increases the risk of stroke, and that even low-range prehypertension significantly increases stroke risk.[18]
All recent meta-analyses, some of randomized-controlled trials (gold-standard), which indicates that saturated fats is a main culprit of cardiovascular disease.
Juan Watson
It was a good book though. Seemed pretty straightforward and reasonable. There's nothing wrong with individually deciding to alter your diet in various ways but society as a whole has slipped away from a lot of useful habits around eating.

I agree with you. Saturated fat and sodium is bad for you, my 9th grade Health teacher Miss. Finklestein said so. Also CNN said it too. and there are studies financed by Nabisco and Little Debbie that say saturated fat is bad for you. My opinion is that sugar isn't that bad for you! So always buy low fat, because it has more sugar and sugar isnt' evil!

What are you basing this statement on?
Ryder Gutierrez
If you read all of those studies they talk about the reduction of serum cholesterol, which at face value has little to no actual value when considering those at risk for CVD and other cardiovascular issues. In half of all heart attack cases cholesterol levels are normal or low, the important element being HDL cholesterol which is heart disease preventative, and which is raised with the consumption of saturated fats.

I eat a lot of saturated fat and get most of my daily nutrients from animal sources and I would bet a not insignificant amount of money that my blood lipid profile is better than yours or, if yours is particularly good, no worse.
Everyone I know on a low/zero carb diet that gets most of their nutrition from animals similarly have fantastic lipid profiles because sat fats being bad is absolute nonsense.
I'll go in with you on the sugar intake though. Get rid of that shit. Cut down on carbs too. Insulin resistance is the devil and is the root cause of so many neurological diseases it's ridiculous.
Nicholas Martin
No, three of the studies said the recommendation to reduce saturated fats was unfounded. Four said there was merit - one of which was the AHA, the organization that's peddling the recommendation to begin with.
Honestly none of these studies are at all conclusive anyways, they are just making "best guesses" and are 99% based on unhealthy population bases. It says directly in the Wikipedia article you linked how unreliable these analyses were.
Same goes with sodium; we know sodium has an adverse effect on people with hypertension, but after countless studies nobody has been able to show any sort of correlation in healthy populations.
Same story with sugar.
"Nutritional science" is the biggest crockpot of shit, every study that comes out is peddled by some agendaed organization, if not sponsored by some particular trillion dollar industry.
Thomas Nelson
>just chew your food HAHAHAHAHA
Daniel Scott
>Increase the risk This is one of the most statistically irrelevant and fear mongering phrases in history. If my family history/inherent genetic risk of heart disease is virtually zero because nobody in my family has lived old and died from it then an "increase in risk" of 10, 15, or even 30 percent means nothing. Math people. A beginning risk of 0×.15 means nothing.

William Wilson
>have low blood pressure >doc tells me to work out and eat more salt
What is the truth
Leo Davis
Population studies, by design, can't find a link between saturated fat and cholesterol consumption and heart disease risk due to genetic variations in baseline cholesterol levels. Two people eating the same diet can have a completely different cholesterol score and therefore a different heart disease risk. What we need are dietary change experiments which calculate cholesterol at baseline and measure the change in cholesterol post-intervention.
So we know a reduction in saturated fat greatly reduces LDL concentration. Is LDL tied to heart disease? Unequivocally, yes. Even if it's true that high HDL can offset the detrimental effects of high LDL (I haven't seen any evidence to suggest so), people falling under this category are few and far between.
>In half of all heart attack cases cholesterol levels are normal or low
Define "normal or low". Is their LDL in the recommended 50-70 mg/dL?
>and which is raised with the consumption of saturated fats.
Does this offset an atherogenic effect of raising LDL-C. Does the ratio of LDL:HDL remain the same after saturated fat consumption?
Connor Robinson
>Is LDL tied to heart disease? Unequivocally, yes.
No shit. Almost every single fucking study, theory and paradigm contradicts some other "tested", "approved", iron fucking cast wisdom by respected authorities. The only thing we can be sure of is that not being a fat fuck is a good thing for your longevity.

Just increase potassium intake? It counters the affects of sodium, but you still get to use both as your body uses them when doing repetitive muscle movements.

We know this because childbirth is very dangerous. Not anymore obviously but it was, then there is the short time period when a child goes from infant to young teen, if the child had any serious untreatable health issues it would have died during this time period, afterwards though the average person easily lived to 60-70 years.

There's no scientific evidence that dietary cholestrol has any effect on serum cholestrol and this has been tested exhaustively. High cholestrol has only been linked to eating a carb heavy diet.

They don't. The babies that die are often fed what's basically sugar water (almond/cashew/coconut milk) and the parents aren't necessarily vegan. It's literally just scaremongering by the mainstream media.
