I have previously written about the genesis for this blog in my article on Why Low Sodium. So far, I have focused on limiting salt in our diet at a personal level. However, should this not be a larger public health initiative?

Today I want to share a wonderful article on STAT: The quiet pandemic caused by consuming too much salt, written by Michael F. Jacobson. It will be worth your time to read it fully. It goes into detail on the dangers of heavy salt consumption and really underscores what we are trying to do on this blog.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest is a science-based consumer advocacy organization that has your interest at heart. If you’ve ever wondered what the FDA is doing( or not doing) to limit salt in our foods as a public health policy or how you can get involved, this is the place to start.

Get educated and get involved!
