Suppose you were given this choice: early death from heart attack or stroke, or decreasing the amount of salt in your diet. It would be an easy decision for most people. But decreasing the amount of salt is easier said than done. Today, most packaged foods are loaded with salt. This situation won't change as long as companies believe consumers are dumb bunnies and can't read labels.
Salt is easy to ingest without knowing it. For instance, Tim Hortons chicken noodle soup has 880 mg of salt, McDonald's quarter pounder with cheese 1,100 mg, a ham and cheese sandwich with mustard 2,340 and a Rueben sandwich 3,270. Fortunately, McDonald's and other fast-food chains now have fruit salads that contain a mere 60 and 80 mg of salt.

With a comparative analysis on the monopoly and non-monopoly system of Chinese Salt Monopoly, the author believes a competitive margin can be earned through improving the management of owner and perfecting its value chain within an open market.

This is truly urgent," adds Dr. Stephen Havas of the American Medical Association. "We need to act.
ConAgra has started doing that, beginning with kid-popular brands. In the United States, Chef Boyardee, for instance, went from an average of 1,100 mg of sodium per serving in 2003 to 900 mg today. Over four years, ConAgra estimates it has removed almost 1.3 million kilograms of salt from a list of products without consumer complaint, possibly because it hasn't publicized the change.
Finland places a "high-salt" label on foods that are, and has seen sodium intake decrease by 40 per cent in three decades -- along with a big drop in strokes. The World Health Organization this year called for worldwide sodium reduction in processed foods, plus consumer education on cutting the salt.
