Danger Of Salt

  

The Deadly Substance You Can't Live Without

There are many things you need to watch out for in life that might adversely affect your health — stray polar bears, opportunistic looters, over-exposure to The Only Way Is Essex...But according to the British medical journal, the real serial killer sits in a shaker on almost every table in Britain.The bods at the Universities of Warwick and Liverpool have come up with research that they hope willl encourage the United Nations to enforce stiffer regulations on salt usage across the globe, thereby cutting global medical costs.
The scientists claim that a 15% cut in salt intake could save 8.5 million live in th the next decade. How have they come to this conclusion? Currently the number one killer of men in developed countries is heart disease. There's a direct correlation between salt and blood pressure, which in turn leads to strokes and heart disease.
No-one is saying that the correlation between over-salting and death is as direct as a gunshot or a car accident, but the science is solid: Overdo it with the white stuff and over time it will catch up with you.
