The CCS takes a stand to reduce sodium consumption in Canada

On Jan. 9, 2011, the CCS joined some of the country’s most prominent health organizations in urging Prime Minister Stephen Harper to implement a national plan to reduce sodium consumption in Canada.

The average Canadian consumes 3,400 milligrams a day, well above recommended levels. High sodium levels in food cause almost one third of hypertension, a leading risk for premature death and disability.
