Salt Wars: The Battle Over the Biggest Killer in the American Diet

Written by Michael Jacobson, a former salt wars combatant and a former government official. He explores the lack of public attention and regulatory action for salt in the US, despite extensive research showing that high-sodium diets lead to hypertension and other health issues. Jacobson, who has been fighting for over forty years, explains the science behind salt intake and rebuts "sodium skeptics." He discusses the efforts of other countries to reduce dietary salt and recent victories in the US.
