I dont even trust cardiologists. Most of them still push the same narratives that those Harvard scientists were bribed to publish by big sugar back in the 1960s. Blame it on sodium they said.

Dr Oz is the only one I trust because he came out and said it. Sugar is the enemy that scours the insides of our arteries like ground glass. That's what he said. It's not fat, it's not salt, it's not cholesterol. The enemy is sugar. Cholesterol is what the body lays down on those inflamed areas of the arteries to try and protect them from further damage.

Dr. Oz had peddled plenty of quackery on his TV show. I am not a fan.

I did the whole low sodium thing for years, it was awful and it didn't help. I wouldn't go back to a doctor pushing another low sodium diet

Most doctors are intensely uncurious about the possibility they might be wrong and have things they need to learn.

They far prefer talking down to others.
