According to one study, those who regularly add salt to their diet have a 28% higher risk of early death.
Scientists from the Institute of Public Health and Tropical Medicine at Tulane University in the United States have studied that eating salty foods leads to early death. This was reported by The Guardian.
In particular, the researchers analyzed the medical data of more than 500,000 Britons over nine years and came to the conclusion that continuing to add salt to the diet reduces men’s life expectancy by two. years, and women by one and a half years.
However, the head of the research team, Professor Lu Qi, believes that a moderate reduction in salt intake is likely to lead to significant health benefits.
At the same time, scientists say that salt intake is difficult to track accurately, since almost 70% of salt is found in processed foods, and 8-20% is from salt added to the table.
Canned vegetables without starch have been previously reported to increase the risk of developing cancer.
