The Salt Fix: Why the Experts Got It All Wrong--And How Eating More Might Save Your Life by James DiNicolantonio

3.0

This was one of the recommended books I came upon in my keto/carb/sugar reading. It is a lot to wrap my mind around. It is the exact opposite of what I have been told my whole life -- even by my friend's father, who is a doctor. (When I was a teenager, he was the first person to really explain to me about the dangers of salt. Also, the dangers of too much caffeine during pregnancy, which is why I didn't partake both times I was pregnant.) It is logical to assume that sugar is bad. Look what it does to your teeth. To then say that salt is good -- it defies logic. I also found that a lot of numbers and big words were thrown at me in this book. I am not a numbers gal. It might not have helped that while I was reading this, we have been preparing to go back to work. I have been reading back-to-work manuals from the Nova Scotia Dental Assoc. -- and I do mean plural. There is the newest and longest sitting in my inbox while I type this. In saying all that, I may not have had my whole head wrapped around this book as part of my head is preoccupied with work and how that is going to go. While I know that we have all the necessary precautions in place to keep everyone safe, it is difficult knowing I work where there is the highest risk of infection.

I continue my reading journey.
