The FDA takes a closer look at sodium
This year will mark another push for aggressive food regulation at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). On tap, salt regulations and industrywide regulations dictating which foods can be advertised on television.

Yet it is doubtful that they will impact anyone’s real food choices. Instead they will hike food costs as companies work to satisfy government regulators by overhauling their products.
