Reducing sodium in everyday foods can save thousands of lives. Researchers have found that modest reductions in sodium in bread, packaged foods and takeaways will significantly reduce the incidence of heart disease and stroke in France and the UK. People don't have to change their eating habits. Small changes in the food supply have big long-term health benefits. These changes take place calmly without the need for interventions in the normal diet. The main finding of the study is that such food reform reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease without the effort of consumers.
