Something that my medical professor used to tell us was that sugar and salt are man made things (processed sugar). And not something we found in nature and something that our bodies are not evolutionary developed to handle. So too much of salt and sugar was a good thing.

So which makes sense

Salt is a manmade thing? Espresso and cappuccino isn’t? I… what?

>Salt is a manmade thing?

Plants and animal meat don't have salt - they have sodium (or sodium ions).

Humans harvest, refine, and even enrich (e.g. with iodine) salt deposits to create table salt used in cooking and produced food stuff.

He may have a point about sugar. We can live happy and healthy lives without consuming any sugar, ever.

But salt? We need to ingest salt. Not necessarily out of a little plastic shaker, but in some form.

Did you mean to say "too much of salt and sugar WASN'T a good thing"?

Isn't sugar sugar, no matter in what form?

Salt is manmade? Ever visit a saltmine?
