Salt Consumption
At Academic Network, many urban myths are addressed each day as we assist consumers in their structuring healthier lives. Diet is basic and salt is frequently a topic we address. For most of us when it comes to salt we find it has been denied a place at the table. Decades of US federal admonishment has cultivated this viewpoint, which has culminating in a call from the NYC Dept. of Health to reduce city-wide salt consumption significantly over the next 5 years a position endorsed by many public health experts.
Salt has a bad reputation, but what if it’s not so bad for folks in Portland or around the world? Consider the fact that salt (NaCl) is a mineral compound that in tandem with other metabolic factors functions to produce physiological equilibrium in your body. Consider the fact that a certain amount of salt is necessary in your diet. This is a distilled version of the argument made by Portland physician David McCarron and national medical colleagues in the medical journal CJASN. According to McCarron and his research colleagues from UC Davis and Washington University, St Louis, salt intake is well-regulated in a healthy body, and attempts like those made by the NYC government are scientifically shaky. That perspective was recently featured in the Science Times Section of the New YorK Times.
As John Tierney of the Times quoted Dr. McCarron, “until unbiased, properly controlled clinical trials are performed, government regulation of salt is unwise and potentially harmful to many individuals.”
Listen to your body, be moderate, and above all become educated. In this case, don’t fear salt. Good news for most and certainly for the everyday gourmet! Health Education and more at Academic Network.
