Ep. 11 EXPOSED! The Warnings Doctor - Salt Wars: The Battle Over the Biggest Killer in the American Diet / Interview with Michael Jacobson, Ph.D.

Take what you thought you knew about salt with a grain of salt.  Food nutrition is a topic near and dear to my heart, and I hope the same is true for you. This episode of EXPOSED! pulls back the curtain on salt to reveal key health, nutrition, and food safety tips.  Michael F. Jacobson, Ph.D., Co-founder and Senior Scientist of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a nonprofit health advocacy organization on current or important health care topics, addresses the intersection between salt science and governmental realities.  Jacobson says the science on the links between sodium, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease is clear, and he fears the chance to improve Americans' health might slip away if we don't do something about it.  As a salt war combatant, Jacobson has spent more than 40 years trying to make America's food less salty.  He's a pioneer of nutrition labels and reducing salt levels in packaged foods.  This episode is chock-full of vital information about food safety, nutrition advocacy, cooking, health statistics, the dangers of restaurant and take-out food, and nutrition labels.  Michael F. Jacobson is the author of a must-read, powerful new book, Salt Wars: The Battle Over the Biggest Killer in the American Diet.
