Devolution, entropy and sodium intakes

Posted by Padre on 18 Dec 2013 at 14:05 GMT

The education is wrong. The strategies against diseases are wrong. The fats and the sugars are foods, and are sources of our energy. We will be ill, but not from these. We started our devolution, and the salt is the number one cause of diseases, because the salt is perfect food for entropy (perfect food for disorder). We can restrain our devolution only by radical salt reduction. And not by taxes, but by strict laws, this is the only solution.

Abstract:
"There is a growing evidence for that in modern societies the function of the cellular sodium-potassium pump
(membrane-bound Na+ K+ ATPase) in several tissues in man cannot respond adequately to demands. This is not seen
in any other free-living vertebrates on this earth. The clearly unphysiological very high intake of sodium-chloride
(salt) and also alcohol is definitely playing an important role in the development of the common degenerating
metabolic aberrations, e.g. essential hypertension, diabetes II and severe overweight, in man. The special and
overall important role of the sodium-potassium pump for optimal cellular function and regeneration with special
reference to the vascular tissues is presented and discussed."

The floor gas sodium-potassium pump (anaerobic turbo pump) is not enough, our cells are dying. And this was
clear in 1985!

From the article:
"Although we have recently elucidated many of the genetic variants underlying the risk of developing autoimmune
diseases 1, the significant increase in disease incidence, particularly of multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes,
indicates that there have been fundamental changes in the environment that cannot be related to genetic factors.
Diet has long been postulated as a potential environmental risk factor for this increasing incidence of autoimmune
diseases in developed countries over recent decades. One such dietary factor, which rapidly changed along with
the Western diet and increased consumption of processed foods or fast foods, is salt (NaCl). The salt content in
processed foods can be more than 100 times higher in comparison to similar home-made meals ..."

I would agree with you that the high sodium intake associated with a Western diet (high in processed foods and low in fresh fruits and vegetables) is of great public health concern. We have previously modeled the health benefits of reductions in dietary sodium as might be achieved through regulatory approaches. This manuscript might be of interest to you. http://www.nejm.org/doi/f...
