275: The New Normal
Federal Dietary Guidelines, Salt Intake Restrictions
The FDA has released new dietary guidelines urging specific groups, including African Americans and those over 51, to limit salt intake to 1,500 milligrams per day. The hosts criticize the "expert on the payroll" news segments promoting these restrictions, calling the science behind the salt-hypertension link "bogus." They view the guidelines as part of the global "Codex Alimentarius" harmonization effort.
