And that's the key right there: EXCESS.
Eaten like a person with sense, nothing comes from consuming sugar or salt; your body requires both to function properly. It's over-consumption that's the problem. Niggas can die from drinking too much water ffs.
You also need to separate the chemicals from the meats: There's still free range, grass fed, hormone and antibiotic free meats for sale, usually found at a local farm. Get your hands on some and you ain't gotta worry about shit like ractopmine in the food.
