A new study says the low level of sodium intake recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) could actually be bad for your health.
April 3/Minneapolis/American Meat Institute -- Just as Americans have been urged to reduce sodium intake and food makers have reformulated products in response to federal sodium reduction recommendations, a major new study says the low level of sodium intake recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) could actually be bad for your health.
The study, published in the American Journal of Hypertension, finds evidence that the average daily sodium intake of most Americans is actually associated with better health outcomes than intake levels currently recommended by the CDC and major health departments.
