Many Americans May Not Be Well Informed About Sea Salt, Red Wine

HealthDay (4/25, Preidt) reported that “most Americans have heard that red wine has health benefits, but many don’t understand the need to limit consumption, finds an American Heart Association survey.” Most “respondents also mistakenly believe that sea salt is a low-sodium alternative to table salt, the survey found.” Among “the 1,000 adults polled, 76 percent agreed with the statement that wine can be good for your heart, but only 30 percent knew the AHA’s recommended limits for daily wine consumption.”
