In a report that may bolster public policy efforts to get Americans to reduce the amount of salt in their diets, scientists writing in The New England Journal of Medicine conclude that lowering the amount of salt people eat by even a small amount could reduce cases of heart disease, stroke and heart attacks as much as reductions in smoking, obesity and cholesterol levels.
If everyone consumed half a teaspoon less salt per day, there would be between 54,000 and 99,000 fewer heart attacks each year and between 44,000 and 92,000 fewer deaths, according to the study, which was conducted by scientists at University of California San Francisco, Stanford University Medical Center and Columbia University Medical Center.
The report comes as health authorities at federal, state and municipal levels are considering policies that would have the effect of pressuring food companies to reduce salt in processed foods, which are considered to be the source of much of the salt Americans eat.
Last week, New York City announced an initiative to urge food manufacturers and restaurant chains to reduce salt in their products nationwide by 25 percent over the next five years. California, according to an author of the study, Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, an associate professor of medicine and epidemiology at University of California, San Francisco, is considering setting salt limits on food the state purchase for schools, prisons and other public institutions. .....

The best burgers are home made some prime beef minced and some egg white to hold it together lightly fried in some oil.
Beef is cheap in the USA ?????
in the supermarkets where i shop , i don't remember seeing it ,""""but my bacon isn't salty """".
the meat isn't cheap here , sometimes you can find it on sale . the only meat we buy is chicken
because we raise our own ... we have a hamburger sometimes out of the ground beef , i'v never tried putting egg white in it , i'll try that . we have been eating boca burgers ,( soy burgers) . they are good . oxoxox
I have never eaten lamb either Lizzie! I thought I was the only one. No, it is not in the supermarkets here either.
Most of Europe, Australia, New Zelanders eat lamb. I'm sure I read one of the reason's Lissie Borden killed her parents was because she was made to eat mutton stew. everyday?
Maybe that's why it died out in the USA!
A T-bone or strip steak is now $10 lb when its not on sale. Chuck steaks are cheap but they are so fatty I rarely buy them. I eat a lot of hamburgers and meatloaf. Hamburger meat is always on sale very cheap. But I don't put anything in hamburgers or do I fry them. I put them on the BBQ or George Foreman grill
CAN'T STAND THE THOUGHT OF THAT .
