I just had to post this up when I read it (my mother is a nutritionist. Surprise, surprise.) Liking salt myself, I welcomed with open arms the sodium level of U.S. food when I arrived from Japan, but maybe we should all be just one teaspoon more careful... Read about it.

"lowering the amount of salt people eat by even a small amount could reduce cases of heart disease, stroke and heart attacks as much as reductions in smoking, obesity and cholesterol levels..." (New York Times)
