Is salt more dangerous than smoking?
Oct 28th, 2008 by Giselle
In 2007, Asaria P et al. published in the Lancet proclaiming the bold statement that “Reductions in dietary salt consumption have greater potential to avert death and disability than stopping smoking!” What a verdict for a major research project! Of course this conclusion is drawn from the assumption that salt is a health issue that affects everyone, whereas tobacco afflicts only 20% of the population. Nevertheless, we should sit up and take note.
