I’m sure you’ve heard all about the Great Apple Juice Panic by now — but you’ll have to pardon me for not joining in the outrage.

There’s no other way to put it: Any doc who’s still pushing the government-backed low-sodium diet is a complete ignoramus, plain and simple — because the problem facing most Americans these days isn’t too much salt… it’s TOO LITTLE!

Of course it doesn’t — but researchers claim they’ll leave you disease-free if you’re willing to take leave of your senses and commit to a diet of just 500 calories a day, and not a drop more.

Actos was supposed to be the “safer” alternative to Avandia, the diabetes drug that boosted heart risk so much that it was ultimately pulled from pharmacies.

All that fat you’ve been told NOT to eat? Turns out your brain needs it after all.
