Salt & Health

There is strong evidence that links our current high salt intakes to high blood pressure. High blood pressure is the main cause of strokes and a major cause of heart attacks, two of the most common causes of death and illness in the world. It is also widely recognised that a high salt diet has other adverse effects, such as osteoporosis, cancer of the stomach, asthma and obesity.
