  • packages of sodium salt sold for consumption and salt dispensers should be required to have a front of package health warning label a position statement of the world hypertension league national and international health and Scientific Organizations
    Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2019

    Abstract:

    Dietary risks in aggregate are the leading risk for death globally. Among dietary risks, high dietary sodium (salt) is the leading risk.1 Globally, excess dietary sodium is estimated to have caused over 3 million deaths and over 70 million disability‐adjusted life‐years (DALYS) in 2017.1, 2 High dietary sodium is predominantly a risk as a result of increasing blood pressure (the leading single risk for death globally) but is also a probable pro‐carcinogen for gastric cancer, directly causes cardiovascular and renal damage independent of blood pressure, and is associated with several other diseases.1, 3-11 The recent National Academy of Medicine review of the evidence for dietary sodium consumption in United States and Canada concluded that excess dietary sodium increases blood pressure, that elevated blood pressure causes cardiovascular disease (CVD) and that there is moderately strong evidence that high dietary sodium directly increases total mortality and cardiovascular events.12 In addition, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that increased dietary sodium increases blood pressure and is associated with CVD.13 Multiple other diseases have associations and biologically sound pathophysiological mechanisms for sodium causing harm, but clinical evidence is not substantive enough to prove causality.3 In addition, acute ingestion of sodium chloride (salt) in the range of 17 g or more in an adult, and 12.5 g or more in an infant can cause seizures, coma, and death. Although ingestions of large quantities of sodium are very distasteful and believed to be infrequent, both accidental and intentional deaths do occur.12, 14

  • the international consortium for quality research on dietary sodium salt true position statement on the use of 24 hour spot and short duration 24 hours timed urine collections to assess dietary sodium intake
    Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2019
    Co-Authors: Norm R C Campbell, Francesco P Cappuccio, Graham A Macgregor, Bruce Neal, Feng J He, Mark Woodward, Mary E Cogswell, Rachael Mclean, Joanne Arcand, Paul K Whelton
    Abstract:

    : The International Consortium for Quality Research on Dietary Sodium/Salt (TRUE) is a coalition of intentional and national health and Scientific Organizations formed because of concerns low-quality research methods were creating controversy regarding dietary salt reduction. One of the main sources of controversy is believed related to errors in estimating sodium intake with urine studies. The recommendations and positions in this manuscript were generated following a series of systematic reviews and analyses by experts in hypertension, nutrition, statistics, and dietary sodium. To assess the population's current 24-hour dietary sodium ingestion, single complete 24-hour urine samples, collected over a series of days from a representative population sample, were recommended. To accurately estimate usual dietary sodium at the individual level, at least 3 non-consecutive complete 24-hour urine collections obtained over a series of days that reflect the usual short-term variations in dietary pattern were recommended. Multiple 24-hour urine collections over several years were recommended to estimate an individual's usual long-term sodium intake. The role of single spot or short duration timed urine collections in assessing population average sodium intake requires more research. Single or multiple spot or short duration timed urine collections are not recommended for assessing an individual's sodium intake especially in relationship to health outcomes. The recommendations should be applied by Scientific review committees, granting agencies, editors and journal reviewers, investigators, policymakers, and those developing and creating dietary sodium recommendations. Low-quality research on dietary sodium/salt should not be funded, conducted, or published.

  • healthy food procurement policy an important intervention to aid the reduction in chronic noncommunicable diseases
    Canadian Journal of Cardiology, 2014
    Co-Authors: Norm R C Campbell, Tara Duhaney, Manuel Arango, Lisa Ashley, Simon L Bacon, Mark Gelfer, Janusz Kaczorowski, Eric Mang, Dorothy Morris, Seema Nagpal
    Abstract:

    In 2010, unhealthy diets were estimated to be the leading risk for death and disability in Canada and globally. Although important, policies aimed at improving individual's skills in selecting and eating healthy foods has had a limited effect. Policies that create healthy eating environments are strongly recommended but have not yet been effectively and/or broadly implemented in Canada. Widespread adoption of healthy food procurement policies are strongly recommended in this policy statement from the Hypertension Advisory Committee with support from 15 major national health Organizations. The policy statement calls on governments to take a leadership role, but also outlines key roles for the commercial and noncommercial sectors including health and Scientific Organizations and the Canadian public. The policy statement is based on a systematic review of healthy food procurement interventions that found them to be almost uniformly effective at improving sales and purchases of healthy foods. Successful food procurement policies are nearly always accompanied by supporting education programs and some by pricing policies. Ensuring access and availability to affordable healthy foods and beverages in public and private sector settings could play a substantive role in the prevention of noncommunicable diseases and health risks such as obesity, hypertension, and ultimately improve cardiovascular health.

  • a call for quality research on salt intake and health from the world hypertension league and supporting Organizations

    Abstract:

    Extensive research supports the harmful effects of high dietary sodium.[1-11] In several animal species, including chimpanzees, diets with added sodium result in increased blood pressure (BP), and, in all settings, sodium-induced hypertension is harmful.[12] Further, in several animal models, increased dietary sodium directly causes inflammation and vascular, cardiac, and renal target organ damage independent of BP.[1, 13] Increased dietary sodium is a procarcinogen for gastric cancer in animal studies and a probable procarcinogen in humans, as shown in epidemiological studies that have found close associations between sodium intake and gastric cancer.[14, 15] Reducing dietary sodium decreases BP in adults and children,[1] with a linear relationship down to the lowest levels of sodium intake tested in randomized controlled trials (about 1200 mg/d of sodium). Increased dietary sodium is also associated with increased vascular events in healthy populations and was estimated to cause more than 3 million sodium-related deaths in 2010 (http://viz.healthmetricsandevaluation.org/gbd-compare/). Reducing dietary sodium is projected to be one of the most effective (and cost-effective) interventions to improve health.[16] Major health and Scientific Organizations around the world have recommended that dietary sodium levels be reduced.
