Sea Salt Just as Salty, and Limit the Wine, AHA Says

Fools.
Most Americans erroneously believe that sea salt is a low-sodium alternative to table salt, according to an American Heart Association (AHA) survey.

Among 1,000 Americans surveyed, 61% thought sea salt was the healthier choice, and less than a quarter knew that the daily recommendation for sodium intake maxes out at 1,500 mg, the survey found.

Nor did they know that there were recommended limits on wine drinking, even though 76% thought that indulging in the drink was heart-healthy.
With no end to the ignorance in sight.
