| Summary | Annotation Eating too much salt is a significant risk factor in developing high blood pressure, a condition often described as a 'silent killer' as those living with it are much more likely to develop heart disease or suffer a stroke. A high proportion of consumers eat more than the recommended daily level of salt each day and consumers are increasingly looking for ways to lower their salt intake: therefore reducing the level of salt in food products is a priority for many in the food industry. Written by a distinguished team of international authors, this collection covers key themes such as the health effects of excessive salt intake and the influence of salt on the quality of foods and offers practical strategies for reducing and replacing salt in food products. CONTENTS Reducing salt in food: an overview. Part 1 Health: Sources and targets for reduction of salt intake; Health risks of excessive salt intake; Health issues relating to monosodium glutamate.
