22 Feb 2021 --- The UK’s national salt reduction program could prevent almost 200,000 cases of heart disease and save £1.64 billion (US$2.3 billion) in healthcare costs if better enforced by 2050, according to research by Queen Mary University London. The study authors are calling on the UK government and food industry to extend commitments to salt reduction, which, despite initial success, have so far failed to meet intended targets.
