When a country has Universal Healthcare they want to see their citizens get healthier.

When Healthcare is for profit, like in the US they’re fine with you eating crap.

Sugar spikes insulin and causes salt retention.

No sugar = just pee out the salt.

Nothing wrong with lowering salt intake, but the killer white powder is sugar.

ahem, eliminate.

You know something is bad for you if it has a nutrition label
