HOUSECALL FOR HEALTH: MORE SALT, PLEASE?
We’ve been hearing it for years: cut down on your salt. The FDA is looking into ways to encourage Americans to reduce their sodium, saying too much salt increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke.
But now an industry group called “The Salt Institute” is fighting back, calling attention to health studies in several respected journals that say cutting back on salt won’t make you any healthier, and, in fact, you could do more harm than good.
