I cut out all sugar and refined carbs, but I am 'heavy handed' on the salt shaker. Doesn't seem like salt has kept my BP from returning to normal! I have lost 41 pounds to date, and I believe as I approach my goal of 100 pounds lost, I will be free from BP med altogether, and have a normal BP reading.

You know, I actually sometimes agree with CSPI - Olestra <b>is</b> bad, and sugar is, too. My problem with them is their tactics, which are amply described in the link I have provided. And of course, the huge spike in trans fats in the American diet can largely be laid at Jacobson's doorstep. Dan, I’m sure you’ve seen this: http://www.cspiscam.com/background.cfm.

Now they have realized that trans fat is bad and are trying to ban it too. So much for their credibility. This is the same group that pushed trans fats to replace those evil saturated fats.
