The food police are back -- this time they are taking more drastic moves towards controlling your salt (there will be another story about the military in a bit) .... but they are ignoring some facts put out by the "Salt Institute" (yes there really IS one).
the FDA wants to begin a 10 yrs plan to reduce the salts in prepared foods.
According to the Salt Institute (Morton Satin, Dir. Salt Institute):
half the population has no issue with salt
20% of population has BP go up when salt is reduced
So let me get this straight -- so 70% of the population does just fine with salt ...
so 70% has to deal with blandness because 30% of the population has a problem???
WTF??
hey I had a mother who had high blood pressure, heart issues, and had a stroke before she was 60yrs old. Of course she was also on those over-the-counter diet pills they used to sell - the doctors blamed her condition more on THAT then her salt/cholesterol/weight.
Of course once she had her stroke then she had to start watching the other stuff because she became more susceptible to it all.
