Seven million people could die of diseases linked to excessive salt consumption before the decade's end unless governments immediately pass tighter restrictions on salt, a report by the World Health Organization warned this month. Its authors are calling on governments to implement stricter sodium targets for food, mark salt content more clearly on packaging and boost public awareness of the health dangers posed by eating a lot of salty food.
"Excessive sodium intake is the top risk factor for an unhealthy diet, and it is responsible for 1.8 million deaths each year," said Francesco Branca, director of the WHO's Department of Nutrition for Health and Development.
Eating too much salt is one of the causes of cardiovascular disease, which kills an estimated 17.9 million people each year, according to the WHO. It can also lead to strokes, which kill 5 million people each year globally - and other serious medical conditions.

“...highway processed foods.”
aka “roadkill”
ZERO credibility.
Seriously dealing with someone who's electrolytes are out of balance is no fun. They are off their noodle but are convinced they are fine.
Almost, but not quite, as bad as trying to reason with a democrat.
I look at those packages of ramen at the store and the amount of sodium in them makes my hair stand on end.
Having said that, WHO, stay away and leave us alone, already!
I scrub my cast iron skillet out with kosher salt. That’s way more salt than I would ever eat in one day.
Salt doesn’t hurt. Salt is necessary for pretty much every aspect of life, biologically. It is involved in all thinking and breathing and movement. All. Without it you will die. The threshold for excess is much higher than the government thinks. Remember what they used to say about eggs. Then butter, which gave us margarine and we experienced much greater mortality from margarine than we did from butter. Then they came after our sugar and gave us high fructose corn syrup. That has helped a lot. The food pyramid with its heavy requirements of carbohydrates and avoiding animal fats and protein but animal fats and proteins are much better than carbs which are the cause of being fat. If WHO says salt is bad then I want more salt.
“Most people in the world consume about 10.8 grams of salt a day,
Consumption and ingestion are different things.......
“I watched my grandparents live to a ripe old age eating bland low salt food on their doctor’s orders and I think I’d rather go out a decade earlier and enjoy some flavor in the meantime.”
My grand dad had retired at age 65 and loved his salt. However, his daughters, including my mother nagged him about him taking a salt shaker to work to get salt with his lunch.
They nagged him until he died in his mid 70’s.
My summer before my senior year in college, I lived with my grandmother. She had a great garden and was a good cook. I often bought meat for our dinner and grilled it. I used a lot of salt, and on Friday or Saturday, I made a pizza for dinner with salt. She loved her salt and told me not to tell her daughters/including my mother.
When I got ready to go back to college, my sister was at granny’s for the ride to our college. I took both of them out to dinner, the last night at granny’s..
Our grandmother was the Queen of home fried chicken, and she wanted to go to the KFC. So we went, ate dinner there and bought her a mini bucket to dine on after we went off to college. She told all of her friends and even her daughters how good the KFC chicken was.
One of my male cousins was starting a pizza business. When he came to visit her, he bought a good supply of his pizzas for there and her after he went back to college/work.
She passed in her mid 70’s in 1962. A full life and lots of good food cooked by her and as a thank yous from her GK’s, KFC and pizza.
I totally trust the WHO and the CDC for health advice. I also believe Bill Gates is the best person to listen to when it comes to communicable diseases. And Joe Biden is the greatest president we ever had because the economy is roaring and there is no inflation.
Who wants all our food to taste like hospital food.
Bland, no salt, no pepper, no spices and over/under cooked mush.
It’s worth leaving a few years on the life table, especially at the end in a nursing home.
Hand me my super sized salt shaker!

Just use potassium as a salt substitute
Sorry for the multiple posts 😔
“I would suggest that keto and coffee will add about 10-20 points to your IQ.;-)! “
Without our morning coffee, our IQ drops 10-20 points.
We are never hungry on a Med/Keto diet. My wife keeps a small countertop in our kitchen doorway, covered with fresh fruit/veggies, dried almonds and walnuts. If we get hungry between meals we snack on those goodies.
That seems to work for us. My wife will be 83 in a few weeks and is 5 #’s lighter than her wedding weight, 62 years ago.
I still fit in my 20-40 year old dress/sport coat jackets a and slacks.
If I start identifying as a minority, I think I can get into medical school."
Why go to medical school? Move to San Francisco, and you'll get paid $97K/yr. for 250 years, a house for $1, AND $5M in Reparations!
Why work?
They are recycling this from decades ago.
Then, ‘sea salt’ became the go-to because it was, uh, less salty.
The daily pearl-clutches become tiring.
How soon before they warn that the green in broccoli is bad?
