19 Sep 2023 --- Action on Salt (AoS), the British Heart Foundation, the British Medical Association and 30 other health organizations and professionals signed an open letter to UK government party leaders urging a revitalization of its salt reduction program in light of recent study findings. According to researchers at Queen Mary University, at the salt reduction program’s peak – between 2003 and 2014 – there was a 19% reduction in salt intake. The study further states that this may have saved an estimated more than 9,000 lives annually.
