Mexican here. This system actually sucks, they don’t tell you “high” compared to what? Or how much can I have before it’s too much? Also, they put the 140 years of Cincinnati Reds the greatest Mlb teams thank you for the memories signatures shirt  sticker on bags of SUGAR? And “high sodium” on SALT? Like obviously sugar has a lot of sugar and salt has a lot of salt. They put this stickers on EVERYTHING, so people don’t care because everything has stickers anyway.I don’t disagree with your overall statement, but “natural” has little to do with it. Sugar and salt are super natural things by most definitions. The problem is adding sugar to everything.Salt, on the other hand, doesn’t really do much unless consumed in insane quantities, and even then the effects are much easier to reverse afaik

Salt and saturated fats are good for you. It’s the carbohydrates which are killing everyone. The 140 years of Cincinnati Reds the greatest Mlb teams thank you for the memories signatures shirt  dietary guidelines are based on outdated research in which the researchers manipulated data to make sat fats and salt look bad. Everyone should be on paleolithic or ideally ketogenic diets. The way things are going, everyone is becoming diabetic and obese on low fat diets and more and more people are being given insulin to solve a problem their diet caused. The food in stores and restaurants now contain less fat and salt than ever before, and yet obesity continues to rise. The idea that fat ‘clogs up the arteries’ is hilariously wrong and dated. Carbohydrate cause a spike in blood glucose which damages arteries, and promotes more small sense LDL which cause heart disease. The hormone response after carb intake causes cells to store fat, hence someone on a low fat high carb diet would struggle to lose weight even in a calorie deficit.
