Doctors seek warning labels to curb American salt intake
The American Medical Association backs government labeling of high salt foods and pressuring the food industry to cut salt in restaurant and processed items. Foods over 480 milligrams of sodium per serving are flagged, including hot dogs, canned soups, pepperoni pizza, chicken chow mein, and cheeseburgers. The group cites links between high salt and high blood pressure, noting over 30 percent of adults have hypertension and heart disease remains the top cause of death.
