If I kept a boat in a freshwater marina and began finding corrosion after I moved it to a saltwater marina, you could say it was coincidence. But if I knew similar corrosion had been found inland when roads were salted, I'd have a stronger reason to blame salt. Farmers used to think calories were the way to fatten hogs. Coconut oil was a cheap fat to add to feed, but it didn't make hogs fat. It was polyunsaturates that turned hogs into couch potatoes. Polyunsaturates inhibit enzymes required to turn T4 to T3. Low thyroid can cause obesity, cancer, clot problems, and high cholesterol. In 2001 the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists recommended changing the standards for normal thyroid levels because millions of Americans with normal levels were suffering the effects of low thyroid levels. In other words, being overweight wasn't the only norm in America; so were insufficient thyroid levels.
