I used to eat a lot of baked beans (for fiber) but the sugar content in those is way outta hand.
Time to just eat plain beans, kidney beans, black beans etc. Salt and pepper and that's it.
Cuz I am not trying to go all purist and eat nothing but bland food here either.
Sodium is also a concern, but you can't convince me it's anywhere near the danger of sugar.
And even the way sodium kills you is preferable to the way sugar kills you.
Straight up. Think about it.
Pretty sure high sodium causes heart attacks and stuff. Meanwhile all the sugar is causing a long drawn out death from diabetes related complications.
One of these ways to die is clearly better than the other. I'll take a heart attack any day of the week.
That said, it's not just heart attacks that are the concern with high sodium, it's cardiovascular disease in general (which I definitely have).
Look, I mean clearly there is no 'good' way to die.
But some are slightly better than others, and I think sugar kills you the bad way.
