FDA Warned on dangers of salt restriction

Weston A. Price Foundation Nutrition Education Non-Profit Files Comments

January 24, 2012–Washington, DC–The Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF) has warned the FDA that plans for salt restriction pose a health threat to Americans of all ages, in comments submitted to the agency yesterday.

The Weston A. Price Foundation is a non-profit nutrition education foundation dedicated to accurate scientific information about diet and health. Last year, WAPF led the criticism of USDA 2010 dietary guidelines.

WAPF noted that by entitling their document Approaches to Reducing Sodium Consumption, the FDA has signaled that it has already  decided that Americans sodium consumption should be reduced.  But neither history nor the scientific evidence support this approach.

A study from 1991 indicates that people need about one and one-half teaspoons of salt per day, says Sally Fallon Morell, president of the Weston A. Price Foundation. Anything less triggers a cascade of hormones to recuperate sodium from the waste stream, hormones that make people vulnerable to heart disease and kidney problems. This is proven biochemistry. Yet, FDA as well as USDA want to mandate drastically restricted sodium consumption at about one-half teaspoon per day.

WAPF testimony noted that salt plays a critical role in body physiology and brain function. In the elderly, lack of salt is associated with increased hip fractures and cognitive decline; low salt diets in growing children predisposes to poor neurological development.

Proposals to restrict salt cite benefits to hypertension.  But only 30 percent of the population experiences a slight reduction in blood pressure on a salt restricted diet, while 70 percent show no benefit.

These statistics don’t justify a population-wide policy of salt reduction, says Fallon Morell

Recent studies show a correlation of salt restriction with increased heart failure and with insulin resistance leading to diabetes.  Studies show that even modest reductions in salt cause an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Higher incidence of inflammatory markers and altered lipoproteins are also found by researchers evaluating those on salt reduced diets. These factors are precursors to metabolic syndrome, which predicts heart problems and diabetes.

Both sodium and chloride, the components of salt, are needed for digestion.  These elements form the basis of cellular metabolism and our only source of adequate intake is salt.

The Foundation also cautions the FDA that salt reductions will increase food safety risks. Salt is a traditional food preservation medium with an excellent track record. Artisan cheeses, preserved meats like salami and traditional pickled foods like sauerkraut require salt to prevent contamination by pathogens.

Our biggest concern is that with FDA dictates against salt, manufacturers will add imitation salt flavors like Senomyx to processed foods, says Fallon Morell.  Marketed as a food, so it does not require testing, and added in amounts so small that is does not need to be labeled, this neurotropic compound can interfere with our natural taste for salt, leading to severe deficiencies.  Or, people will become obese as they eat more and more, trying to satisfy the bodys need for salt.

After all, Barkley is a popular former NBA superstar who has gone on to have quite a successful television gig as a brilliant, on-the-spot color commentator on TNT and NBC Sports. He occasionally makes headlines for saying some rather controversial statements to and about other pro teams and athletes and he never backs down from a good media fight. Here’s his take a few years back on then-Cleveland Cavalier, now-Miami Heat NBA all-star and MVP Lebron James wanting to be traded to another team:

http://youtu.be/n31xxNy_jR0

That’s typical Charles Barkley. He is very well-known for saying some of the most off-the-wall statements sometimes. He’s probably most famous for his rather unique pronunciation of the word “terrible”:

http://youtu.be/TGw9N5DGT-Q

So the Weight Watchers people probably knew what they were getting themselves into hiring this guy to be the face of their company to the male population. Or maybe they didn’t. They certainly chose the right man if they wanted someone who could exude confidence in himself and stir the pot. This video of Charles’ auto-tuned song “I May Be Wrong (But I Doubt It)” says it all:

http://youtu.be/KhusltpwMIQ

So, in case you’ve been living the life of a hobbit over the past couple of weeks, here’s the former “Round Mound Of Rebound” touting the impact that Weight Watchers has made on his weight since he started following their plan in late 2011 in a series of spots called “Lose Like A Man”:

http://youtu.be/6pynpCMt5Ng

http://youtu.be/MuE_rtwmxX0

And he’s been speaking glowingly about his Weight Watchers experience:

http://youtu.be/m19WU8LbWfY

You’ve heard me say it early and often over the years and I’ll say it again now. I applaud anyone who is seeking weight loss and, more importantly, better health by changing their lifestyle habits nutritionally and physically to put themselves in a better position to be at peak condition. Finding the plan that will work for you, following it exactly and then never quitting it is essential to making permanent and lasting changes happen. But I am always somewhat skeptical of celebrity endorsements like this one for Weight Watchers by Charles Barkley because you can’t help but wonder just how genuine the commitment to this plan really is. There were two things that happened on television over the past week that lead me to believe Sir Charles is growing weary of Weight Watchers already and may not be doing this gig to improve his health as much as he is to expand his bank account.

I was watching Saturday Night Live on January 7, 2012 when Barkley was hosting and in his opening monologue he talked quite extensively about how his Weight Watchers experience has been going. I couldn’t believe his public admission about one of the major flaws of following a low-fat, low-calorie plan like Weight Watchers:

http://youtu.be/VxZw8PQAxSQ

Yes, I understand SNL is a comedy show and that Barkley was trying to be funny. But one of the things that makes comedy funny is an element of truth in the punchline. I’m not at all surprised if he is indeed “hungry” and “starving” on Weight Watchers because everybody in that studio audience and at home knows it’s true if they’ve been on a plan like this before. They all laughed because they’ve tried to eat low-fat, low-calorie and have suffered through the inevitable hunger that awaits them. Far too many diet plans leave dieters hungry because they deprive their body of the satiating macronutrients like fat and protein while loading them up on the hunger-stoking macronutrients like carbohydrates. Do you think the Weight Watchers folks were happy about their brand new spokesman telling people even in jest that they’re gonna be “starving” when they follow this program to lose weight? What’s that forehead-slapping sound coming out of New York City?

As if the SNL bit weren’t enough damage control for the Weight Watchers people to deal with, then Charles Barkley got caught being Charles Barkley again during an off-the-air (or so he thought) admission on TNT’s coverage of a recent Miami Heat-Atlanta Hawks NBA basketball game that being their spokesman is an even “bigger scam” than getting to watch sports for a living:

http://youtu.be/aCB3MyJ94Ns

Now, I don’t have a problem with anyone trying to take care of themselves financially by brokering deals with companies that want to use your brand to help market their products. Charles Barkley is a brand whether he wants to admit it or not. And a lot of guys really like him for his humor, honesty, and coming across as being one of us. But with him basically stating the only reason he’s really doing this Weight Watchers gig is to make money, that’s a problem. Sure, he’s lost weight and I’m happy that he has. But as someone who also lost a substantial amount of weight on a calorie-restricted, low-fat diet in 1999, that way of eating is simply not sustainable. Hunger will drive cravings and there will come a point in your life that you will succumb to that desperate desire to feed your body. Unfortunately, it will most likely be fast food, junk food and lots of it! I’ve been there, done that before and I’m afraid we’ll see the same thing happen to Barkley in the not-too-distant future.

I wish Charles Barkley well in his pursuit of being healthy as he approaches his 50th birthday. But the average, everyday male consumer out there who is watching him tout the benefits of following Weight Watchers in all of these TV ads needs to know it’s all just one big facade. As alluring as experiencing weight loss can be for those men who are concerned about the future of their health, this may not be the best plan for you because of the hunger and frustration that comes from eating this way. Sure, you may lose a few pounds but what good is a plan that you can’t stick with for life? That’s why low-carb is perfect for those who failed on Weight Watchers. There is a certain appeal to following the low-carb lifestyle when frustration sets in from being on programs like Weight Watchers. To make matters worse, Weight Watchers now considers McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets a “healthy” option because it fits within their “points” system. Say what? Looks like they could stand to learn the dirty truth about what’s in that “chicken” product. As Barkley would say, “That’s turrible, you knuckleheads!”

Do you think the Weight Watchers marketing team is wishing they had chosen somebody like John Goodman, Kevin James or Philip Seymour Hoffman instead? Or is this all a part of their scheme to conjure up some free viral marketing? I’d love to have you chime in on what you think in the comments section below.

Jimmy Moore is the popular blogger, podcaster and author of Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb who lost 180 pounds on the Atkins diet in 2004 and quickly established himself as a highly influential layperson in the field of health and nutrition. His wildly successful Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Blog has been educating, encouraging and inspiring readers since 2005 and his accompanying iTunes podcast The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore is one of the most listened to health broadcasts online today featuring hundreds of enchanting interviews with the leading voices in the world of diet and healthy living! Jimmy’s latest book compiling all the knowledge he has learned along his journey is called 21 Life Lessons From Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb: How The Health Low-Carb Lifestyle Changed Everything I Thought I Knew. He lives in Spartanburg, SC with his beautiful wife Christine and their three cats!

In case you haven’t noticed, the Paleo/primal/ancestral lifestyle has taken off like gangbusters in recent years and for good reason. People like Robb Wolf, Mark Sisson, Art DeVany and many others who are cited throughout the pages of this e-book have brought some much-needed exposure to a common-sense approach to eating the way we were biologically intended to. And guess what? It ain’t all the highly-processed industrialized carbage that passes for “food” these days in American households. For those who are still mired in the dietary delusion that nourishing meals come in a box, Nikoley arms these people with some easy-to-implement ways to step up their food quality without sacrificing taste and satisfaction. As someone who has been through this transition personally, Nikoley bestows great wisdom on a subject that warrants your uninterrupted attention. I’ve been there myself and have up-and-down whiplash from nodding in agreement with much of what is contained in this e-book.

You’ll learn why the diet that most people eat in modern-day society is wrong on so many levels. Most disturbing is that even the nutritional concepts that are promoted as “healthy” and considered the holy grail of what to eat for optimal health (low-fat, low-calorie, heavy on whole grains and mysteriously meatless) are bassackwards from what people really need to be consuming. The historical perspective about agriculture and how the special interests protecting it don’t give a rip about your health is most definitely worth the price of this book alone! And, of course, what would a book by Richard Nikoley be without a rant or two about the insanity of choosing to become a vegan or vegetarian? That one’s a CAN’T MISS chapter for sure! Classic Nikoley.

As expected, there’s plenty of nutritional myth-busting strewn throughout this e-book, including anti-conventional wisdom bombs like saturated fat is healthy, high cholesterol may not be such a big deal, and so much more that will rock your world and turn everything you thought you knew about health clear on its head. I love Nikoley’s concept of listening attentively to your own body and responding accordingly. If you eat something and you have a negative response, then that’s your body trying to tell you not to eat that anymore or to make appropriate adjustments to your consumption of it. Whether it’s the scale or your cholesterol test results, it’s always better to hear precisely what your body is saying rather than relying on what a machine or traditionally-trained physician is telling you about your health. It may be difficult for some people to swallow the truth that their doctor knows very little about nutrition and are more apt to prescribe risky prescription medications that most likely won’t get to the root of the problem. Times have changed and the Internet has armed patients with more knowledge about alternative health than ever before in the history of man. Nikoley is on the front lines of this paradigm shift.

Practicality is a central theme you find early and often throughout this e-book. From disease prevention to proper supplementation as well as knowing precisely what a real foods-based Paleo diet actually looks like, Nikoley doesn’t leave you hanging wondering what you need to do to be in the best possible solution to find the success you desire on your newfound Paleo lifestyle. Full details on making that all-important transition from the Standard American Diet or even a so-called “healthy” diet are included for your convenience so you never feel left all alone to do this on your own. It’s not really about low-carb, low-fat, or anything that typically dominates conversations about diet. Zeroing in on food quality and cleaning up your menus with the most nourishing, delicious foods that are right for you (and that will differ from person to person) is the crystal clear message Nikoley is promoting in this e-book. And even long-time Paleo dieters may learn a thing or two about how they can freshen up and tweak their own plan to make it even better. Perhaps the implementation of some intermittent fasting (IF) which warrants an entire chapter could be the missing element in maximizing your results. Experimenting and seeing how a variety of strategies could work for you is something Nikoley would encourage as a way to use the information contained in this e-book.

And with all the talk about diet, let’s not forget about exercise which also plays a role within the “evolutionary” concept at the heart of Paleo living. Nikoley says you only need to devote an hour weekly to find the results you are looking for. And guess what “Biggest Loser” fans–it ain’t hours and hours of cardio exercise! He’s brutally honest about the lack of changes that people who walk on a treadmill generally see in their body composition and this e-book reveals the unique kind of exercise that will deliver the fat loss and body composition changes most people are desperate for. And if weight loss is your goal, Nikoley shows you some simple concepts about what you can do to make that happen (and get healthier and fit in the process!). While the title of the book insinuates that this is a “diet” book, what you’ll quickly realize is that this is more about optimizing your opportunities to be as biologically healthy as you can possibly be. Isn’t that what we’re all striving for (or should be)?

What would a Richard Nikoley book be without some of his trademark Paleo-friendly recipes? Yeah baby, these mouthwatering dishes that have become some of my favorite posts on the “Free The Animal” blog show up in this e-book to tantalize your taste buds with satisfyingly succulent dishes that will rock your universe–and they’re anything but boring for those of you who are wondering! Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you’ll undoubtedly find something to tickle your fancy on those days you choose to nourish your body (and that won’t necessarily be everyday with Nikoley’s recommendation to purposely fast and eat at sporadic times to keep the body from getting too used to any one routine). Finally, if you need some inspiration from others who have been there, done that about why you should begin this journey, then there are ample numbers of uplifting weight and health success stories to encourage you to make this happen for yourself. There’s no time like the present to apply these principles from the past to give you the future you’ve always dreamed of!

Need one more more really good reason to get this e-book? Gee, how about the fact that the price point is just a measly $3.99? Are you freakin’ kidding me?! This e-book is EASILY worth $30 for the high-quality information it contains–so it is so well worth the price of that Egg McMuffin and coffee you were gonna buy from Mickey D’s but really don’t need anyway. Yep, I said it and now it’s up to you to make this happen! GET THIS BOOK and glean the invaluable lessons about making Paleo your own personal “life way” as Nikoley so aptly puts it. Your future self is waiting for you to get with the program and is cheering you on to just do it. The first step in your journey to stunning health change can begin with this book and the only thing that can stop you from succeeding is yourself. NOW GO FOR IT!

Constitutional Rights activist, Sheriff Richard Mack is hosting a conference in Las Vegas to train local Sheriffs on defending their citizens’ privacy, civil and property rights. The raw milk issue will be featured prominently at the weekend long event.

What you Can Do
Invite your Sheriff to the County Sheriff Project Conference ( http://www.countysheriffproject.org/) in Las Vegas, January 29-31. We recommend a personal visit to his office, and/or an email invitation. This event will prominently feature food and farm rights. Sheriff Mack, through his County Sheriff Project, is reaffirming the Oath of Office taken by every Sheriff, citizens’ personal freedoms and the importance of the office of Sheriff to defend those freedoms.

The Sheriffs will be shown the Farmageddon movie trailer, and hear a talk by WAPF chapter leader, Kristin Canty about the farm food freedom issue. Raw milk activists will be in the exhibit hall with a Raw Milk Freedom Riders booth, and do raw milk tastings to share news about the str

uggle for access to this nutritious food.

Funds are being raised to pay the way of any local sheriff who wants to go. We just need you to help interest your Sheriff in attending! We recommend an email like the following be sent to your local Sheriff. Just google your city or county name and Sheriff to find the official contact information on the web.

Downloadable Invitation

Sample Letter
Dear Sheriff {insert your sheriff’s name here},

Today I am writing to you as a constituent in your county to request your attendance at the County Sheriff Project sponsored by Sheriff Richard Mack. I endorse and financially support Sheriff Mack’s stance on the role of the County Sheriff as the last line of defense against unlawful and overreaching intrusions from the federal government. Sheriff Mack is reaching out to every county sheriff in the nation to educate and support the county sheriff and his duty to keep his oath.

Please watch this video  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4RuWK2Ww-4 and visit this site  http://www.countysheriffproject.org/  We have hundreds of people who are willing to petition and pay for your attendance at the county sheriff project conference coming up in January. Sheriff Mack has organized a Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association convention in Las Vegas, January 29th-31st. If you are interested in attending, I will contact the CSPOA and help to organize the sponsorship of your $1,000 attendance fee.

I have an additional personal interest in the county sheriff project because I drink farm fresh, unprocessed milk, a food that has greatly improved the quality of my life, and have seen hundreds of families obtain untreated milk and other local foods from sustainable farms to restore their health. The testimonies would bring tears to your eyes.  People who were near death and by drinking raw milk have life today and have health that they never had before.  However, you may be aware that the FDA and other Federal agencies are attacking our rights to healthy food and attempting to outlaw one of the most basic and necessary foods for life–raw milk.  We know that these agencies are not looking out for our interests of health but rather huge agribusiness corporations.  They publish propaganda that tells people that raw milk is dangerous and should not be consumed.  They confiscate thousands of dollars worth of food from innocent farmers and private co-ops without warrants or with warrantless warrants thereby ignoring the constitutional rights of the people.

A current example of how a Constitutional Sheriff has protected the inalienable rights of an innocent citizen occurred in Elkhart, Indiana when an Amish farmer was being harassed by the FDA. Please read  http://www.etruth.com/article/20111218/NEWS01/712189916/-1/news01

The County Sheriff is the highest law of the land as you know and we are confident that with your help and other oath keeping sheriffs, we will be able to take back our city, state and country from the intrusive leadership trend of our federal government.

Thank you!

Did you hear that crash? It’s the sound of corn stalks toppling over, their root systems ravaged by rootworms. But wait, didn’t Monsanto promise that their genetically-modified (GM) corn, bred to include Bt toxins, would resist pests? Turns out that after only a few years, insects have already evolved to resist Bt, and are now attacking corn fields in the Midwest. If we keep allowing monoculture fields of Monsanto’s Bt corn, soon there will be noway to fight these super bugs. The solution is simple: end monoculture fields of Bt corn. Ask the EPA to enforce their rules requiring the planting of other types of corn. To promote crop rotation and to create “refuges” for non-resistant rootworms, the EPA mandates that farmers use non-Bt corn for at least 20% of their fields. But unfortunately, blinded by Monsanto’s promises of higher yields, not all farmers are complying with the regulations. In fact, data from the Center for Science in the Public Interest suggests that one out of every four farmers who plants Bt corn is not in compliance, and the number is growing. This drastically increases the likelihood that pesticide-resistant insects will attack future crops, including organic and non-GM corn. Call on the EPA to enforce what they’ve known all along: end the planting of monoculture fields of Bt corn and require the use of non-GM seed on at least 20% of land. We’ve got to get off this treadmill of scientific “advances” that claim to fix current problems while leading to more destruction down the road.

New this Year a Pre-Conference Cooking Class

Friday February 9:00 am -4:30 pm -Cook Class with Monica Corrado

Join Traditional Food Chef and WAPF Honorary Board Member Monica Corrado  for two classes that are integral to Fourfold Healing: The Secret to Nutrient-Dense Stock and Liver Pate: Nutrient-Dense Nirvana.

Additional cost for this class $85.00

The Secret to Making Nutrient-Dense Stock

Stock is one of the original super foods. It is nurturing, nourishing, grounding, comforting, and nutrient-dense. Stock made well is the foundation of good soups, stews, sauces, vegetables, and grains. It helps to heal the gut, is a great “first food” for infants, and is high in absorbable calcium, especially good for growing children, menopausal women, and just about anyone who is alive. Learn how to make stock the way your grandmother (or great-grandmother) did! People who ate soups made with homemade bone broth grew strong, healthy children and stayed well themselves. Nutrient-dense stock is chock full of easily absorbed minerals every body needs, not the least of which is calcium, and helps one to efficiently utilize protein. It has been indicated in helping to heal rheumatoid arthritis, gastritis, colitis, Crohn’s disease, allergies, and other digestive and bone disorders. In this class, learn the bones to use, where to get them, how long to cook them, cover on or off, and the secret of gelatin …

Liver Pate: Nutrient-Dense Nirvana

You know liver is a super food. It is so rich in nutrients that you need only eat a little for your body to receive its healing blessings. If you have been wondering how to include liver in your diet, pate is a great place to start. You’ll eat it like ice cream off a spoon! Honest! (At Wise Traditions 2011, people licked their plates clean!) Liver pate may be the most nutrient-dense food you can eat: it combines the most nutrient-dense traditional food with the most nutrient-dense fat available. When you put pastured liver and grass-fed butter or cream together in a pate, you have achieved nutrient-dense nirvana! Experience it for yourself! We will work with chicken, beef and pork liver. Learn preparation techniques and easy recipes!
