How much salt does the average American eat in a day? One answer is "ten grams". Another answer is "way too much for his or her health": excessive salt is a major cause of high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. And yet another answer is "enough to prompt the American Heart Association to publish new guidelines," calling for all
Americans to cut it back to 3.8 grams a day. The AHA took action, coincidentally, the same day the New England Journal of Medicine published a study claiming that a reduction in salt intake of 3 grams per day would save 194,000 to 392,000 quality-adjusted life-years and $10 billion to $24 billion in health care costs annually. The Wall Street Journal suggests that such a reduction won't come easy, because 75 percent of the salt we eat comes from processed foods, and because the salt industry is comfortably in deep denial of any link between salt intake and disease.
