Posted by ClearAspect on Tue Apr 20 17:26:10 2010, in response to Obama administration bans salt, posted by Dand124 on Tue Apr 20 07:54:04 2010. The average American takes 1.5 teaspoon of salt per day, if the average American reduces their salt intake by just .25 a day its the equivalent to taking 2 pills a day to reduce high blood pressure which in turn lowers your chance of getting a heart attack. Also the reduction is over 10 years, and the FDA hasn't even advised on much it will lower salt. Or what products may be exempted... either way this is a good thing, especially when one meal or one can of soup or certain products can contain as much as half a days worth of salt or more.To the rest of you making a bigger issue of this, most doctors agree this is a great move, and if done slowly enough even just by .25 of a teaspoon can significantly improve the health of many Americans. Stop making a mountain of a mole hill, you should be ashamed for trying to say this fascism. If that's true then they should deregulate water, deregulate other things because that's the government overstepping their bounds. Then saying that Obama is banning this... really? You think Obama personally went to the FDA and went "ban salt" fix your title while your at it. |
