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.
