Although there is no direct evidence that salt is the cause of high blood pressure ar“hypertension”,there are studies which indicate that reducing salt intake lowers blood pressure.Some scientists are also concerned that excessive use of salt may cause asthma and kidney disease.Therefore most doctors would welcome a decision by food manufacturers to decrease the amount of salt in food.
Many food manufacturers,however,are reluctant to reduce tile amount of salt.Salt is an important flavor enhancer and preservative.British Salt points out that salt is an essential nutrient and regular intake is required to maintain bodily functions.Moreover,according to British Salt,there are greater risk factors in hypertension,such as obesity(肥胖),lack of exercise,alcohol intake and smokin9.Another reason why food producers are not keen on lowering the amount of salt is probably that they fear that less salt will mean lower sales.Not only
will the sale of processed food containing salt decease but also the sale of soft drinks.
A recent study,published in The Lancet of April l999,proves that if manufacturers cut the salt content of food it will not necessarily affect the taste of the product.Anthony Rodgers and Bruce Neal conducted a study to examine the difference in taste between bread with standard and reduced salt content.Three types of whole—meal bread were prepared,identical in all respects except for salt content.One loaf contained the standard quantity,one loaf l0%reduced and one 20%reduced.Sixty participants,who did not know the salt content were asked to rate the taste on a scale from zero to ten.They also had to guess which loaf contained the standard,10%reduced and 20%reduced quantity.Of the l80 9uesses of salt content,63 were correct,which is not different from what would be expected by chance.
The study by Rodgers and Neal indicates that small reductions in salt content will not necessarily affect sales.If food manufacturers decide to diminish the amount of salt in food,blood pressure of the entire population will shift downwards,which may result in considerable health benefits.One of Britain’s largest supermarkets,Asda,has already decided to decrease the amount of salt in its products.The Asda products will contain up to 25%less salt.

Here below are two pieces taken from a blog. ▲ Growing up as one of three girls I've always been keen on women's issues. And now with three daughters to raise, I have the responsibility of ensuring that they grow up without any preconceived (预 想的) ideas of their capabilities & potential based on their gender. Earlier this year I read an article that indicated that women surpassed men in the workforce for the first time in history. That is a milestone! And while we still don't have equality in leadership positions or pay (especially if you're a mom), we have made significant progress over the past couple of decades. All this prompted me to do some digging around to see what else I could learn. Here are some fun facts from the census bureau for you: ● 29% of women aged 25 or older had obtained a bachelors degree in 2008 vs. 18% in 1987. ● 55% of all college students were women in the Fall of 2008. ● 60% of women 20 years or older participate in the workforce today vs. 34% in 1950. ● 14% of the armed forces were women in 2008, compared to 2% in 1950. ▲ We're all looking to stretch the value of our dollar as much as possible. Every day as you juggle the needs of your family, remember to eat right, take your vitamins and keep up with laundry and bills-you probably also look for budget friendly, family appropriate activities. A day trip to a national park is a great way to explore all the wonders of nature: withoutbreaking the bank. Once or twice a month, my wife and I will prepare for a leisurely hike in one of our favorite parks close to home. The night before, she makes some homemade granola and I make sure our reusable water bottles are full and on ice. Next time you're looking for an inexpensive adventure that your family isn't soon to forget, take a hike! To find a national park near you, just visit www. nps. gov. |
