Для себя я выводы сделал... с 80-го года я соли в пищу не добавляю и готовлю всё без соли. В рестораны почти не хожу, в фаст фуде не ем.. никогда...
Начнём с American Heart Association:
- Don't use salt during cooking. (Try a salt-free seasoning substitute.)
- Don't salt food before you taste it.
- Substitute herbs and spices as food flavoring.
- Eat less salted potato and corn chips, lunchmeat and hot dogs, salt pork, ham hocks, dill pickles and many canned foods. All of these have a lot of salt.
- Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and less canned or frozen ones.
- Use fresh fruit and raw vegetables as snacks instead of chips or salted nuts.
- Look at food labels — many canned and frozen foods say "low salt" or "low sodium."
- Select unsalted nuts or seeds, dried beans, peas and lentils.
- Avoid adding salt and canned vegetables to homemade dishes.
- Select unsalted, fat-free broths, bouillons or soups.
- Select fat-free ("skim") milk or low-fat milk, low-sodium, low-fat cheeses, as well as low-fat yogurt.
- When dining out, be specific about what you want and how you want it prepared. - Request your dish be prepared without salt.
- Learn to use spices and herbs to enhance the taste of your food.
- Find great-tasting recipes for low-sodium foods.

Некоторые цифры:
- Eat less than 2.4 g(2,400 mg) of sodium or approximately 6 g( ) of sodium chloride (salt) per day (check food labels for the amount of sodium per serving). The American Heart Association recommends that sodium intake should be less than 2.4 grams per day, which is about 1╪ teaspoons of salt.
- Watch for hidden sodium in foods. Monosodium glutamate, disodium phosphate, and other ingredients in foods contain sodium. Check the label. Look for products that say "low sodium," which must contain less than 140 mg( ) of sodium per serving.

The usual dietary intake of sodium in the US and other populations where salt is readily available ranges from about 2,300 to 4,500 mg/day. Mean sodium intake for the entire US population is 3,280 mg Na or 8.2 grams salt /day; however, discretionary salt intake is not included. Intake of discretionary salt, that added during cooking and at the table, averages 2.7 g/day according to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. A diet based on Asian foods, such as those seasoned with soy sauce and monosodium glutamate, may contain the equivalent of 30 to 40 grams salt/day
National Institutes of Health:
High blood pressure, or hypertension, affects about 50 million Americans--one in four adults. It is the leading cause of stroke and contributes to heart attack, heart failure, and kidney failure. Some Americans, such as older Americans and African Americans, are at a particularly high risk from high blood pressure

European Food Safety Authority:
There is strong evidence that the current levels of sodium consumption in European countries contribute to increased blood pressure in the population, which in turn has been directly related to the development of cardiovascular disease and renal disease. For this reason, a number of national and international bodies have set targets for a reduction in the sodium consumed in the diet.
