Description

Reducing the intake of sodium is an important public health goal for Americans.

Since the 1970s, an array of public health interventions and national dietary guidelines has sought to reduce sodium intake.

However, the U.S. population still consumes more sodium than is recommended, placing individuals at risk for diseases related to elevated blood pressure. Strategies to Reduce Sodium Intake in the United States evaluates and makes recommendations about strategies that could be implemented to reduce dietary sodium intake to levels recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

The book reviews past and ongoing efforts to reduce the sodium content of the food supply and to motivate consumers to change behavior.

Based on past lessons learned, the book makes recommendations for future initiatives.

It is an excellent resource for federal and state public health officials, the processed food and food service industries, health care professionals, consumer advocacy groups, and academic researchers.
