Comments on: Sodium and Salt – How Much is Too Much? http://blog.foodessentials.com/uncategorized/sodium-and-salt-%e2%80%93-how-much-is-too-much/ Wed, 08 Feb 2012 09:12:52 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: dxavier http://blog.foodessentials.com/uncategorized/sodium-and-salt-%e2%80%93-how-much-is-too-much/comment-page-1/#comment-1263 dxavier Fri, 05 Jun 2009 02:23:18 +0000 http://blog.foodessentials.com/?p=1438#comment-1263 Hi Simon, Thanks for your comment. I can understand your perspective, and i think it mirrors many peoples opinions on this subject. Clear cut guidelines for all standard nutrients should be easy enough to create and standby right? However, I feel as though with the position America finds itself in (in regards to imports and population etc), there are many complex issues the USFDA must attend to. Even the COOL (Country Of Origin Labeling) has been a long time coming but is now in the final stages. Maybe these things just take time - but is that a good enough excuse? Either way, if more people attempted to cook slowly, using more unprocessed food they would probably see some massive differences. Not only on their waist line, but in their wallet too. Thanks for bookmarking us Simon, and appreciate the comment! Cheers, Dagan Xavier Hi Simon,

The USA sodium classification sounds confused. Such 'light' or 'reduced' sodium for 50% or 25% less salt than usual. What's 'usual'? Virtually meaningless and misleading. My motto is 'save money and save your health - use only unprocessed food.' Yes, it takes a little more time to prepare. Might have to watch one less TV program. Best regards, Simon P.S.
