Salt reduction is in the headlines again!

I read a Reuters article today which basically says that if Americans reduce their salt, they can prevent a lot of illnesses such as stroke, heart attack and death.

Here is an excerpt from the article, I put the link below:

"Salt, which contributes to high blood pressure and heart disease, is widely overused in the United States, with 75 to 80 percent coming from processed food. Men typically consume 10.4 grams per day. For women, the average is 7.3 grams. Its use is rising."
