Seriously, do health scientisty-type people want to leave us ANYTHING we can enjoy?

Not to mention that the health advice doesn't actually tend to apply to everyone. If I tried to cut salt out of my diet, my bloody pressure would plunge so much I'd be unable to function, since my normal resting BP is 90 over 40 and I eat a crapton of salt.

How much research has really gone into this 'sugar is armful' thing anyway? How many studies? What numbers does he have to back up his claims? Are there any other factors that could be bending his figures?

Bah.

Same amount as went into all those men can do x and women can do y ones that I always end up male on: the results are probably accurate for the average person. Unfortunately the number of people who actually meet the criteria for averageness is vanishingly tiny.
