Are There Heart Benefits To Cutting Salt..?
Dear Reader,
Despite what you've been told, salt might not be so bad for your heart. Cutting the salt from your diet brings down blood pressure a bit to be sure, but the evidence just isn't there for less salt being able to prevent heart disease or dying as a result of it.
Naturally this isn't a call to load up on salt warns Rod Taylor, Ph.D., MSc, a researcher and professor at the University of Exeter, but rather to be aware of the latest news.
The review looked seven studies that included 6,500 subjects and appears online in the American Journal of Hypertension and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2011. In the short term (up to 2 years) there was a trend toward lower deaths. But at the ten-year mark, the benefit disappeared, and it may well be because the subjects weren't able to maintain the lowered salt intake over time.
Cutting salt was associated with a mild drop in blood pressure. Systolic (top) numbers went down by from 1 to 4 points. The strange thing is that the researchers saw that salt restriction upped the risk of death from all causes in those who had been diagnosed with heart failure. But there isn't enough evidence to say anything for sure. Taylor believes the reason they saw no strong evidence on salt benefits to heart disease is because the numbers studied were just too small.
It may also be that telling people to cut salt isn't enough on it's own.
As you might expect, the Salt Institute sees the findings in a different light. The group is calling for government to stop trying to convince people to cut salt, until a clear benefit for doing so can be proven. They suggest a large scale clinical trial that examines the impact of cutting salt from the diet on health be undertaken, reminding everyone that policy should be based on evidence, that until now, they claim, has been widely ignored by public health agencies.

Are There Heart Benefits To Cutting Salt..? Continued...
The American Heart Association also points out some problems with the study.
The work involved mostly middle aged, white or Asian subjects, not groups where
high blood pressure is common. And the follow up might not have been long enough
since heart disease and stroke risk build slowly, silently over many years.
The AHA stands by the sodium advisory they issued early in 2011, and continues
to urge consumers, the government and the food industry itself to keep working
to reduce the amount of salt we are taking in on a regular basis. An intake of
no more than 1,500 milligrams of sodium daily is recommended
Americans eat more than double that amount. As a point of reference, a double
cheeseburger from a fast food place has 1,051 milligrams of sodium according
to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, USDA.
The USDA calls for limiting sodium intake to under 2,300 milligrams for most
people, under 1,500 milligrams for those over 50 and if you're either African
American or have high blood pressure, diabetes or chronic kidney troubles. Keeping
as close to these numbers as you can is a smart move, especially if you're trying
to eat a balanced diet as part of your overall healthy lifestyle.
To your good health,
