SALT AND SODIUM
- Salt does not make you puffy, sugar does
- It isn't sodium that's raising your blood pressure
- Vinnie takes in TONS of salt every day and is not puffy at all
- All of the doctors that have been on this show pretty much
agree
- One even really began his career by refuting the idea that salt is bad for you
CUSTOMERS AS CRIMINALS
- Vinnie was treated like a criminal when trying to return broken
headphones
- They set themselves up to be scammed, and all Vinnie wanted was to cash in his warranty
- For hiking, Vinnie buys heavy duty bear spray at REI
- They're locked away so people don't "hold the place up" with bear spray
- In the south, guns are out on racks for the taking
- Such a different world!
- At REI, the fleeces were locked up, too
- Apparently people still these often
- A lot of it is because people steal confidently and stores refuse to intervene for safety reasons
CORN OIL
- Corn oil is NOT good for you
- Dr. Oz used to dislike it
- Now, he is sponsored by them and is promoting it as "versatile" and capable of "lowering cholesterol"
- Mazola is the sponsor that sells a horrible product
- Oz just cares about money
- He lies to people
- If you want oil, USE OLIVE OIL
