Many studies prove that too much salt in the diet can increase the risk of serious diseases such as heart disease and stroke. Less salt food suggest usually and nutritionists.

The beginning of the debate advocates and opponents of restriction of salt became the new dietary guidelines for Americans, which recommend eating less than 2300 mg of sodium a day (about 1 teaspoon of salt). Since about 75% of salt eaten per day, hidden in the finished products, Management on control over products and medicines of the USA has obliged food producers to reduce the amount of salt in edible products.

Researchers from McMaster University in Canada decided to investigate this issue. Been found, adults who consumed fewer than 3,000 milligrams of salt per day, were more at risk of heart attack, stroke, and premature death than those who consumed more sodium.
