I agree with you Linda. I recommended in my article: moderation, moderation, moderation. The big organizations like the CDC or AHA do quantify their research findings which has its own purpose. Not one of us will ever really know how much salt we consume in a day. That is impossible. There are those individuals who use a lot of salt with their meals. By knowing an estimate number of grams/teaspoons, it might help them to visualize and recognize that they are using too much. This does not work for everyone but if there are any reasonable solutions in helping people to cut down on salt, those solutions should be used. Some people may connect with hearing stories from others, some like to quantify and visualize and some will never lift a finger to change. Spreading the word about a subject increases the chance for positive change. Thank goodness for Empowher.com!
