People, stop eating so much salt, says this CDC post, "Americans Consume Too Much Salt - Lower sodium recommendation applies to almost 70 percent of American adults." Here's what you need to know . . . This study is the first to use national data to show that 69.2 percent of the adult population belongs to a specific group that should aim to consume no more than 1,500 mg of sodium per day. This group includes persons with high blood pressure, blacks, or middle-aged and older adults (more than 40 years old). The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that adults in general should consume less than 2,300 mg (approximately one teaspoon of salt) of sodium per day. Can you cut back on your salt?!

Yay! This latest CBS News Video, "FDA Lifts Tomato Warning," says it's safe to eat tomatoes, and it's still time to be cautious about Jalapeno and Serrano peppers (because of the Salmonella scare).
In the FDA's news release two days ago, they report progress in helping to keep Americans enjoying one of the safest food supplies in the world. The FDA lists their accomplishments to date, in the areas of prevention, intervention, and response. I imagine this update was released given the fact that many of us keep asking ourselves whether it's safe to eat tomatoes. As a personal health and safety issue, though I've not stopped eating tomatoes, I worry about when I might run into and eat a Salmonella tainted tomato and get sick.
