You Eat Too Much Salt!!!!

People, stop eating so much salt, says this CDC post, "Americans Consume Too Much Salt - Lower sodium recommendation applies to almost 70 percent of American adults." Here's what you need to know . . . This study is the first to use national data to show that 69.2 percent of the adult population belongs to a specific group that should aim to consume no more than 1,500 mg of sodium per day. This group includes persons with high blood pressure, blacks, or middle-aged and older adults (more than 40 years old). The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that adults in general should consume less than 2,300 mg (approximately one teaspoon of salt) of sodium per day. Can you cut back on your salt?!

Is It Safe To Eat The Mushrooms In My Yard? - Probably Not

I just ran across this Chicago Tribune news article, and it made me stop to think, "You asked: Can I eat the mushrooms in my yard?" While the weather here in San Francisco is rather mild and dry, the article reminds me that Fall is in full swing and some places are getting lots of rain. Ripe conditions for mushrooms in the yard. So if you're even tempted to eat those mushrooms, please stop and consider the following main points . . .

1. Some wild mushrooms are poisonous and possibly deadly
2. It's very hard to tell which are safe and which are not
3. Eating poisonous mushrooms can cause vomiting, cramps, bloody diarrhea, seizures and deadly liver damage
4. If you suspect a mushroom poisoning, call your local poison center for advice
