Do You Think This Needs Salt?

Maybe it's time to switch to pepper.

Here's a a health tip to take without a grain of salt: a recent study reports that a little less sodium could save a lot of lives.

The study, conducted by scientists at University of California San Francisco, Stanford University Medical Center and Columbia University Medical Center, estimates that, "If everyone consumed half a teaspoon less salt per day, there would be between 54,000 and 99,000 fewer heart attacks each year and between 44,000 and 92,000 fewer deaths."

The biggest culprit for excess salt? Processed food.


In summary, if it's salt of the earth, score; if it's salt of the of the sauce made in a chemical processing plant; reconsider.
