A new review of 24-hour urinary sodium excretion as measured in a variety of US studies carried out in the past half century has found little change in salt consumption. The review was published online September 8, 2010 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.Survey says, "Oops."
Lead author Dr Adam M Bernstein (Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA) told heartwire that, if anything, he had expected to see an increase in sodium consumption between 1957 and 2003, given that data from food surveys had indicated this. "In fact, we saw a small increase over time, but it was nonsignificant. Essentially, it remained flat," he said.
Fitness Watch is your site for making sense of fitness advice.
"Truth" has a shelf life.
The shelf life of "truth" is very short in the domains of fitness, health and well-being.
The reason is that so much of what we are told is "true" is really baseless.
At Fitness Watch we separate fitness information from fitness noise.
