Don't be fooled by hype...

I bought a jar of raw tahini and when I opened it to mix it up I realized that I hadn't closely read the label: "Raw Tahini, with Salt".  I considered throwing it away but I couldn't bring myself to do it.  I've eaten some of it twice and each time I felt terrible.  Last night I felt lethargic, my feet and legs felt(but didn't look) swollen, and I had a sensation of pressure in my head.  In Living Nutrition Magazine David Klein, Ph.D. writes: "Salt paralyzes the intestinal villi and kills cells.  Hypertension, edema, cardiovascular disease, stroke, atherosclerosis, asthma, arthritis, rheumatism,Alzheimer's, lupus, premenstrual syndrome, gout, cancer and a host of other conditions are linked to salt."

The pleasure I had in eating "Raw Tahini, with Salt" was short lived and not worth it.  I'm throwing the rest of it out!  David Klein also writes that "even Celtic and Himalayan salts are destructive to your body and health--don't be fooled by marketing hype."
