@nosleep @sun Not just sugar. Salt too.

The food processing industry adds loads of salt to cover up the fact that their food has no flavor. Since few of us do physical labor in the hot sun all day, we don't sweat enough to get any benefit from such high levels of salt. Instead we get hypertension and stress on our hearts.

A few months of salt restriction and you can go back to a moderate amount of salt ... but by then, you'll likely have figured out how to flavor food without burying it in salt.
