I have a friend that is an RN in the emergency dept - she says that there are

many elderly patients with elevated blood pressure and edema after the Easter

dinner - due to the high salt in the ham dinners- so I am thinking that Chinese

food is extremely salted and the salt caused the elevated blood pressure, due to

retaining fluids from high salt intake.

This is just my thought on the subject - that is salt to be avoided - not the

MSG. MSG is a naturally occurring substance - for instance it is naturally

occurring in tomatoes and other foods.

and fresh veggies and very small cut-up chicken - due to he is having trouble

swallowing and is at the end-stage of LBD - not ambulatory and in Hospice care

at home )
