Once again you distort and leave out facts
@DanaBlankenhorn: Sea water contains 35,0000 milligrams of salt per liter. That's 9 to 10 times the amount of salt consumed per day by Americans. Calling our food "sea water" is a gross exaggeration meant to induce hysteria, especially since the increase in sodium intake since 1970 to today is about 50% and in no way could have gone from acceptable to "sea water".
You also didn't mention that the Institute of Medicine is part of the National Academy of Sciences (which is what Lincoln established in 1863) with an official mandate to advise the government on science. As such, it's a quasi-official branch of the government with much greater access than your typical non-profit. These guys exist to modify public policy.
