Description: The benefit of reducing dietary sodium for lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease has been questioned because some studies have also linked low sodium intake with increased CVD risk. Application of Hill's criteria, however, indicates that the association is not causal. Hypertension is a common and major risk factor for the leading U.S. killer, cardiovascular disease. 1 – 5 Reducing excess dietary sodium can lower blood pressure, with a greater response among persons with hypertension. 6 – 9 Nine of 10 Americans consume excess dietary sodium, defined as more than 2300 mg per day. 10 , 11 Many leading medical and public health organizations recommend reducing dietary sodium to a maximum of 2300 mg per day on the basis of evidence indicating a public health benefit. 11 – 17 Yet this benefit has been questioned, mainly on the basis of studies suggesting that low sodium intake is also associated . . .
