44. Any one human anatomical system (e.g. cardiovascular) works independently from all thế other systems (e.g. urinary) so they are more efficient. 45. Salt (NaCl) and sugar (CH,O,) are essential for life. 46. Eating excess salt, sugar, fat, or chocolate (as in the S.A.D.,i.e.Standard American Diet) when brains are developing promotes addiction to these calories. 47. Excess salt, sugar, or water can be fatal.
