Consumers
Can
Reduce
Salt
in Diets
Scientists, concerned with
the excessive salt content in
the average human diet, say
consumers can do much to
help cut down on salt con-
sumption.
"The most obvious way to
reduce salt intake is to remove
the salt shaker from the dining
room table and the cooking
area." according to Dr
Robert Terrell, meats scientis
at Texas A&M University,
involved in research on meat
preservation for the Texas Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station.
"This is called discretion-
ary intake and can cut the
excessive use of salt by 25 tc
30 percent, but it does require
a change in behavior and
taste."
Another discretionary
source of salt is in the water
used for drinking and cook-
ing. If salt content of water
is high where you live, you
can cut salt intake by using
distilled-bottled water for
drinking and cooking.
Reduction of excessive in-
take of sodium, primarily
from table salt (sodium
chloride) has been made a
national health policy issue by
the U.S. Food and Drug Ad-
ministration (FDA) and other
health-related agencies.
About 20 percent of the
U.S. population is believed to
be genetically susceptible to
high blood pressure (hyper-
tension) and that lowering of
excessive intakes of sodium
will decrease high blood pres-
sure.
Concern for high blood
pressure is associated with the
incidence of stroke, kidney
failure and heart attacks which
are affecting younger people
in their most productive years.
Excessive intake of sodium
is not easily defined. Terrell
said, but it is estimated that
current intakes range from 10
to 12 grams of salt per person
pt r day and that liberal and
sufficient intake may be as
low as 2 to 3 grams per day
A non-discretionary way to
reduce excessive intake of salt
that represents 40 to 60 per-
cent of intake, is associated
with dietary habits of using
processed foods.
Federal policy is currently
directed toward this non-
discretionary source of
sodium by encouraging food
processors to voluntarily label
the sodium content of their
products.
Fxperiment Station re-
search is seeking alternatives
to sodium chloride and the
effects of reducing the amount
of ordinary salt in formulated
meat products.
Terrell and other scientists
in the meats lab at Texas
A&M have reduced or sub-
stituted the sodium chloride in
frankfurters, hams, pork saus-
age and formulated pork
roasts to study the effects on
processing and sensory prop-
erties.
When sodium chloride was
replaced or reduced 35 percent
by using potassium chloride,
the only FDA-approved salt-
substitute. flavor was de-
creased
A trained taste panel did not
like the oft - flavor (bitter) taste
ol products made with potas-
sium chloride substituted for
sodium chloride but found the
35 percent replacement of
sodium chloride with potas-
sium chloride to be more ac-
ceptable than the I (K) percent
replacement.
Processing properties, such
as cooking shrinkage, were
not affected with either of
these substitution rates but
keeping qualities were affect-
ed adversely
It you are one of those
people with a need to reduce
\our salt intake, why not work
w ith your doctor on this prob-
lem ' There's much you can do
to reduce the ' roblem. on an
individual has, . by 1) stop-
ping the showering of all food
with salt, often before it's even
tasted, 2) stop cooking with so
much salt, and 3) where salt
content of local water is high,
substitute salt-free, bottled
water for drinking and cook-
ing." Terrell concluded.
