Re aluminium in tea ...

Out of curiosity, would it make a difference, or much of a difference, in the brewing method? I cold brew - black, green, whatever I find loose-leaf. The cold brewing method gives less tannin, so less acrid taste.

If no one has come across any info on this, I'll check into it.

Salt?

Wow.

Not so bad in ample portions after all?

For years, the federal government has advised Americans that they are eating too much salt, and that this excess contributes yearly to the deaths of tens of thousands of people.

But unknown to many shoppers urged to buy foods that are “low sodium” and “low salt,” this longstanding warning has come under assault by scientists who say that typical American salt consumption is without risk.

Moreover, according to studies published in recent years by pillars of the medical community, the low levels of salt recommended by the government might actually be dangerous.

“There is no longer any valid basis for the current salt guidelines,” said Andrew Mente, a professor at McMaster University in Ontario and one of the researchers involved in a major study published last year by the New England Journal of Medicine. “So why are we still scaring people about salt?”

These suggestions are also not supported by the scientific weight of rigorous randomized controlled trials, because little in nutrition is. I’ve inserted links to back them up with the available evidence. They are not “laws” and should not be treated as such. No specific nutrients will be demonized, and none will be held up as miracles. But these recommendations make sense to me, and they’ve helped me immensely.

Quite reasonable, the one thing I would like to add is, to use as much as possible locally produced foods.
