This document discusses salt intake and its sources. The majority (75-80%) of salt intake comes from processed foods like bread, cold cuts, pizza, snacks rather than from table salt. While the adequate daily intake is 1500mg, the average American consumes over 2400mg per day. High salt intake is linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. The document recommends reducing salt intake gradually by choosing lower salt options more often to lower health risks.
