excerpts:
"Group wants sodium intake cut, 8 glasses of water rule annulled"
"A long-awaited nutrition report suggests lowering the maximum amount of salt Americans should allow
themselves each day, even though the average person already consumes far more than is recommended. "
"The government currently recommends no more than 2,400 milligrams of sodium a day, the equivalent
of a heaping teaspoon of salt. The new recommendation is 1,500 mg a day. "
"Most Americans need to eat a lot more potassium -- 4,700 mg a day, roughly double current
consumption."
