The universe (formerly known as God) rewards us for working out how it works.

More evidence that sugar is not toxic : We have one hormone to lower blood sugar and five hormones to raise it. Low blood sugar is fatal in seconds ; high blood sugar takes days to many years to be fatal. We have evolved to like the taste of sugar. Fruit is not toxic . Honey is not toxic Breast milk is not toxic. image

“In regard to propaganda the early advocates of universal literacy and a free press envisaged only two possibilities: the propaganda might be true, or it might be false. They did not foresee what in fact has happened, above all in our Western capitalist democracies—the development of a vast mass communications industry, concerned in the main neither with the true nor the false, but with the unreal, the more or less totally irrelevant. In a word, they failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions.” Aldous Huxley 1959

Salt is an essential nutrient. It is not a case of “the less salt you consume the better”. We need about 30 vitamins and minerals. Salt(sodium chloride) is needed in large quantities, relative to all the others. The optimum amount daily is about 10 grams(2teaspoons) a day. How do we know this is optimum ? -well this the amount people who live the longest have. Furthermore when people are in hospital and can’t eat or drink, (there are numerous reasons for this), they receive about 9g of salt daily in intravenous fluids.

“The most important Manhattan Projects of the future will be vast government- sponsored inquiries into . .. the problem of making people love their servitude." "To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors and schoolteachers. But their methods are still crude and unscientific." Aldous Huxley, 1946

Man creates institutions to satisfy his social needs in accordance with his philoso- phy. Individuals join these institutions and make their personal interests fuse with those of the institutions, on whose wealth and power their own prospects depend. What follows is that very soon these institutions begin to serve their own interests rather than social needs. As time goes by the social needs and philosophy change, but the institutions don't; they remain fighting for their own inter- ests until they are swept away by revolution, often at the price of much suffering, bloodshed and devastation. Man grows by virtue of these upheavals; he becomes, then, like a snake, bursting his skin periodically. The emergence of modern science has greatly speeded up these changes. Most of our social institutions now serve mainly their own interests while pretending to serve the purpose for which they were created. This holds equally for armies, churches or governments and means that we are living in a hypocritical world, one of false pretenses, one which is now being rejected wholesale by our youth. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
