DOCTORS DECLARE TABLE SALT UNSAFE

The American Medical Association "AMA" is urging the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to revoke the "generally recognized as safe" status of salt with the aim of reducing sodium intake throughout America in an effort to reduce cardiovascular disease - the number one killer in America. Most salt intake occurs through dining outside the home and the AMA hopes that an FDA pronouncement will encourage restaurants to significantly lower the use of salt in their menus. Their aim is to reduce overall salt intake by one-half within 10 years.
