FDA!  No Lick, Just Sip & Suck?

For thousands of years, salt’s high value has made it the foundation of a society, a currency of trade, and cause for wars.  Now suddenly salt is the bad girl.  An organized push by the FDA to ban salty foods and have manufacturers reduce salt in their products, is fueled by idiots who know nothing about health and those who ignore the US Constitution!   So if the FDA get’s it way, and outlaws salt – what happens to #1?  I guess we tequila drinkers will just have to make do with number 2 and 3! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Consumers love the taste of salt in food and, in fact, their bodies crave it. With the trend toward low-fat foods, food producers must rely on salt to provide the desired taste.   So, what do you think will happen when the food we buy doesn’t taste salty enough?  Exactly, “Can you pass the shaker please?”  Is anyone really that dumb to think cutting back salt in foods will change health in America?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Salt is our oldest known food ingredient. Salt is a natural food preservative because it lowers the “water activity” of food, reducing the pathogenic-microbial growth. It is one of the most important ingredients in food manufacturing and public health.  So why would we force everyone to have to buy and eat food with limited salt because of a few people with medical conditions don’t have the skill to buy and prepare food that suits their health status?  It makes no sense.Perhaps we should ban chocolate because there are people who are allergic to it?  Or blame sodas for childhood obesity? (this did happen)  The only thing we need the FDA to do is to cut down the stupidity in Congress and those who mean well, but should leave this to the experts ( aka, non- liberals).

 
The appetite for salt (Na+Cl-) is determined by the brain which senses an individual’s need. It is more powerful than a person’s conscious choice. When salty foods are freely available, humans will spontaneously intake more than is required for immediate need and excrete any excesses in their urine.  If the Na+ levels in the blood are low, the hormone aldosterone is released which leads to reabsorption of Na+ and Cl-.    However, if a person is dehydrated, the hormone ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is released.  This causes  large quantities of water to be reabsorbed.  Bottom line:  Our bodies are fantastic in regulating salts and that is why we don’t need the FDA regulating salts!

America – Watch your Weenies! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That’s right, the good ole American hotdog has a lot of sodium – and it surely will be one of the foods targeted for regulation.  Maybe it will be illegal to buy a hotdog soon?  Perhaps  then we should ban red and white stripes – they seem to be associated with obesity- at least in this picture!  Then, we can have the FDA ban white stars on blue backgrounds – and we can forget about Old Glory altogether.   Let’s leave salt regulation to God, he has a better track record than the Feds.

Turkey Increases Testosterone

The protein from organic turkey will help maintain optimum testosterone levels, and increase it in men who build muscle through working out.  True organic is better than traditional commercial turkey because the hormones used in industrial turkey can increase estrogen production and lower testosterone levels. Diets low in protein in elderly lead to elevated sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels and decreased testosterone bioactivity. Fat makes estrogen!  The decrease in bioavailable testosterone can result in declines in sexual function and muscle and red cell mass, and contribute to the loss of bone density.

Turkey sandwiches decrease your waist size and boost your sex life

President Obama charged a reporter on his campaign bus $115.62 for a cup of soup and a turkey sandwich.   This change we can believe in- it is called taxation, taxation, taxation.  We should have seen the writing on the wall then.  We do have a lot of turkeys in Congress and the White House right now.  Eating turkey is good, voting for them is bad.

Don’t be Trypped up by Turkey and Sleep through Sex

Turkey does have the makings of a natural sedative in i­t, an amino acid called tryptophan. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid, meaning that the body can’t manufacture it. Tryptophan helps the body produce the B-vitamin niacin, which, ­in turn, helps the body produce serotonin, a remarkable chemical that acts as a calming agent in the brain and plays a key role in sleep.  Nobody has sex right after a thanksgiving dinner – except for vegetarians.

Perhaps we should introduce a spanking bill for Congress?

Spanking increases testosterone!

At spanking parties, women showed significantly higher levels of testosterone when experiencing these types of S&M activities. The researchers said the testosterone boost may be a sign of stress, or may help women deal with the aggression displayed by their partner.

Assemblyman Michael Duvall (R-Yorba Linda), whose remarks were videotaped in July during a lull in a Sacramento, California  hearing, stepped down less than 24 hours after the tape spread online.  He talked at length about spanking his his mistresses and her eye-patch underwear.  Now he denies any affairs!   Maybe he needs a spanking so that his testosterone increases and his memory clears!

I don’t think this was the actual pair of “eye patch” underwear his mistress was wearing? Do you?

Maybe his girlfriends just needed testosterone?  In women, testosterone increases vaginal lubrication in the same way that it increases nitric oxide in men’s arteries, allowing their penis to become erect.

For women, testosterone has the power to decrease fat mass, and increases lean body mass.  In other current news, it looks like “Miss” Semenya has testicles inside his/her body pouring out testosterone, instead of ovaries which make estrogen. 

Although many in the track and field regulatory bodies feel that they should strip him/her of her records, I think it is clear a spanking isn’t going to be necessary!
