Americans should shake salty food habit
Full story here:
Salt.. it's bad for your health. Chances are you're eating way too much of it. If you think setting down the shaker will make a difference, take that advice with a grain of salt. Most salt comes from processed foods and restaurants... For good health, most people need less than a quarter-teaspoon a day of salt — a natural mineral known as sodium chloride. Of course, except for medically supervised diets, it's almost impossible to consume that little... Most Americans consume as much as 2 teaspoons of salt a day, far above the recommended half-teaspoon for healthy adults... Though the mechanism behind it isn't fully understood, high-salt diets can cause high blood pressure, a risk factor for heart and kidney disease and stroke.
