I've probably had more problems in my life from too little salt than from
too much and add salt to everything. As a kid in the Canal Zone, my legs
were broken out in ugly sores because of inadequate salt in my diet in
that hot climate. Only a small percentage of people have a problem with
salt and blood pressure and I'm not one of them. Sugar and starch are
carbohydrates and our bodies turn starch into sugar. I do think some of
those modified vegetable oils aren't good for anybody.
