The Food Industry’s Overuse Of Salt Contributes To Almost 100,000 American Deaths Every Year

The Food Industry’s Overuse Of Salt Contributes To Almost 100,000 American Deaths Every Year

In a new study published in the online edition of the British Medical Journal, researchers write that a 50 percent reduction in daily salt intake “could prevent approximately 100,000 deaths from heart attack and stroke in the United States every year.” 

I try to drink a drink a quart of Jameson's a week to cut down on the percentage of salt in my blood. And, of course, by Tuesday, I don't give a shit about salt :)
