“Assault on Salt”

http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2010-04-20-fda-salt-cutback_N.htm

Public health advocates are pushing the FDA to further limit the amount of sodium in foods and beverages, as salt plays a key role in blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. Liberals are set to attack processed foods; conservatives want to blow up the oceans.

Conspiracy theorists say that getting salt off the table is just a ploy to make pepper lonely.

Some anti-activists are going too far, replacing table salt with cocaine.

The commercial overuse of salt has been hard to prove. Hidden-camera video of salt being added to foods in restaurants all turned out grainy.
