Teresa shares news regarding levels of chemicals in certain foods, including dark chocolate. (17:00) Vinnie advises athletes on what to do to bulk up.

(5:30) The salt-to-water ratio has to be correct. A good electrolyte blend with proper ratios is best; however, you should also avoid fillers and flow agents. When Vinnie was ultra-cycling, if he had carbs, his ankles would swell. He never had any swelling issues during races when he relied only on salt, healthy fats, and water. (14:00) He makes recommendations on how to take UltraSalt. We blame salt for what sugar did. (18:00) There's a misconception about salt; even hospitals and doctors make poor recommendations.
