Eating Too LITTLE Salt May INCREASE Your Risk of a Heart Attack or Stroke

Here's another example of the "scientific consensus" being wrong:  A new study found that eating too little salt could increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. This would not have surprised our ancestors, just as the recent findings that low-fat diets are unhealthy would not have.

Niacin for Healthy Hearts and Minds

Niacin is a key nutrient for health hearts, minds, and skin, says Thomas Corriher.
