CNN Helps Autism Debacle Blow Up in Government’s Face

On April 2, 2008 CNN spent the day bringing awareness to the problem of autism. Larry King’s segment, which included Jenny McCarthy along with a panel of guests, was particularly enlightening. My hat is off to Jenny, a celebrity mother who is making it quite uncomfortable for the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to ignore parents of autistic children seeking answers.

The AHA continually promotes salt as evil and that no more than 1500 mgs should be consumed daily. The new study indicates that healthy people age 40 and over have higher rates of heart disease if they consume a low-salt diet. The fact that the Journal of the American Medical Association published the study has elevated the salt debate to a whole new level of noisy discourse – not to mention confusion for consumers.
