Salt, Bread And Heart Disease

Salt = heart disease. The Independent checked 84 breads made by Warburtons, Hovis, Kingsmill, Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury, Waitrose and Marks & Spencer. Warburtons bread has 20% more salt than Sainsbury's. Reducing salt in all our food (especially takeaways) is in our long-term health interest.

As my staple snack is a slice of bloomer bread with salt on it, i think I'd better check out my insurance policy.

I was working earlier in 2008 as a secretary to a researcher on salt and heart disease, hence my interest.
