On November 29, 2007, the Food and Drug Administration will hold a public hearing on salt reduction. Send a letter today to the FDA and let them know you support strong salt reduction efforts by the government that will save thousands of American lives.

According to the director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute in 2004, reducing sodium consumption by half would save about 150,000 lives per year. Yet very little has been done by our government to reduce salt consumption.  The FDA needs to hear from consumers like you (especially because the makers of salty snacks, salty soups, and other salty foods will be flooding the FDA with their advice!) – Send a letter today and let the FDA know you are concerned. 

If you are interested in testifying in person at the hearing, contact Julie Greenstein at jgreenstein@cspinet.org or go to http://www.fda.gov/OHRMS/DOCKETS/98fr/07-5216.pdf  for more information.
