According to the preliminary results of the study NutriNet-Health, published yesterday, the very large majority of the men (95%) and women (82%) have a salt contribution higher than the commonly allowed standard of 6grammes per day in Europe to preserve cardiovascular health. The average salt contributions were evaluated with 8,4g/j (9,2g/j for the men and 7,6g/j for the women). “All in all, there is a rather favorable evolution: one passed from 10g/j in 2000 to 8,4g/j”, indicated Serge Hercberg (Inserm), who coordinates the program Nutrinet-Health (). The three-quarters of consumed salt come directly from food and a quarter is added by the consumer during cooking or the meal. The groups of food which contributes more to the salt contribution are the bread and the melba toasts (24,1%), the pork-butchery (12,5%) and the cheeses (8,1%). But the bread should not especially be removed, hammers Pr Hercberg very a good product on the nutritional level. According to him, one would need “a regulation which fixes an optimum sodium level for the current bread”.

To move away the salt box from the table

Overall, industry already made efforts to reduce the salt contribution, in the prepared soups or dishes for example camel, but they should “be amplified”. Pr Hercberg advises overall with the French to put less salt in the water of cooking, to avoid salting food before to have tasted them and… to abstain from automatically posing a salt box on the table. “The public health issues are really major”, underlines Serge Hercberg. A recent study shows that a reduction of one gram of the average salt contribution would allow boccia, the scale of the United States for example, an annual reduction in 20.000 to 40.000 cases of coronaropathy and 11.000 to 23.000 cases of cerebral vascular accident.
