New studies reinforce American Heart Association's stand on limiting sodium

New studies reinforce the American Heart Association's recommendation to limit daily sodium (salt) intake to less than 1,500 milligrams. Suggestions by some groups that healthy people can consume more sodium are based on incorrect analyses of observational studies and misinterpretations of clinical research. Because most dietary sodium comes from processed and prepared foods, the American Heart Association urges health organizations, the food industry and policy makers to provide people with heart-healthy, low-sodium alternatives.
