The NoSalt label includes the warning “Persons having diabetes, heart or kidney disease, or persons receiving medical treatment should consult a physician before using a salt alternative or substitute.” But the label also says, “Recommended for salt or sodium-restricted diets… dietary reduction of sodium may help in reducing high blood pressure.” It goes on to offer a “suggested lifestyle modification for management of high blood pressure,” which to me suggests that consumers are being urged to self-medicate. The label on Morton Salt Substitute is clearer: “Consult physician before using any salt substitute.” However they label it, the fact that you can buy this stuff in the spice section of the supermarket has togive you pause.

The New England Journal of Medicine. 2010 18;362(7):590-9. Available from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20089957 [accessed 12th May 2020]. As a recommended daily allowance, adults should not consume any more than 6g of salt a day. Any food containing more than 1.5g of salt per 100g is considered to be high in salt. Historically, salt has been used to preserve food. High salt concentrations help prevent bacterial growth that can cause food to spoil ( 1).

Selenium helps the immune system work properly, as well as in reproduction. It also helps prevent damage to cells and tissues. A 2016 review in 12,210 adults with and without hypertension examined how reducing salt in the diet affected blood fat levels. Eating a reduced-salt diet increased cholesterol by 2.9% and triglycerides by 6.3% in both groups ( 36). Many types of salt are available. Popular varieties include plain table salt, Himalayan pink salt, and sea salt. These may vary in taste, texture, and color. SummaryMeanwhile, observational evidence is in abundance. After the Japanese government launched a campaign to persuade people to reduce their salt intake in the late 1960s, intake decreased from 13.5g to 12g per day. Over the same period there were falls in blood pressure and an 80% reduction in stroke mortality. In Finland, daily salt intake dropped from 12g in the late 1970s to as little as 9g by 2002, and there was a 75-80% decrease in deaths from stroke and heart disease in the same period.

For example, though sodium restriction is commonly used to treat heart failure, some studies have shown that reducing sodium can have a negative impact on patient health. That said, if you’re in good health and eat a balanced diet, there’s likely no need for you to worry about your salt intake. Summary You should be able to get all the selenium you need by eating a varied and balanced diet that includes meat, fish or nuts.A woman attempted suicide by swallowing 100 potassium chloride tablets.
