Don't get me started...

I'm so tired of reading "Here's what pink Himalayan salt does to your body..."

Pink Himalayan salt does the same thing to your body as table salt, without the added protection of iodine to prevent goiter disease. Salt from the Dead Sea. Salt from Siberia. If they find salt on Mars, it will react the same way in the body.

Salt is salt. No matter where it comes from, the chemical structure is the same.

I like those lamps made from pinkish salt. Because I like how they look. But I ain't gonna believe for one hare-brained second that they're going to absorb evil from the air in my home.

Hello - engage brain! Is there anybody really in there?

Same thing goes for sugar. Whether it's "white death" in a bag from the grocery store, made from cane sugar or beets, whether it's brown, whether it's maple syrup or honey or molasses, whether it's in apples or pears or watermelon, the sugar molecule reacts the same way in the body for all of them.

If you want to curb your sugar addiction, you have to stop eating sweet things. Period.

There are no miracle cures for anything. Except maybe walking - that may be our only miracle cure. Getting off our butts.

Humans evolved into humans by walking upright. And when we don't do that, we get fat, out of shape, sick. Yeah, we ate honey and berries when we were evolving. But consider the energy expended collecting them - walking while we collected them. For hours. Every. Single. Day.

There's nothing wrong with a bowl of ice cream - once a year. Once a day will add pounds, lower the quality of your life, and possibly shorten it.

So close your computer, get dressed, and stop believing that anything out there can "save" you from yourself.

It ain't gonna happen if you don't save yourself first.
