Salt free from Baker's standard

 


Researchers analyzed salt in 2,000 types of bread in 32 countries. Here's what they found.
If you are worried about sodium intake, watch out for bread.
Bread contributes the most to sodium in the diet in many countries around the world.
It turns out that bread contributes the most to dietary sodium in countries around the world shows an analysis of the salt content in 2000 breads sold in 32 countries and regions.
More than a third of the breads exceeded the maximum target for bread salt, set to -1.13g of salt per 100g, or the equivalent of half a teaspoon of salt for about two slices of bread.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about nine out of every 10 children and adults exceed their daily sodium intake (2.3 g or one teaspoon).
Some of the products analyzed - such as rosemary focaccia  - are "saltier than seawater". This bread contained more than a teaspoon of salt per 100 g (or about two slices), exceeding the recommended daily intake of sodium. South Africa's popular product, Golden Crust Toaster Bread, contains the most salt per serving of any white bread : 2.46 g per 250 g portion.
Sliced ​​white bread containing 1.4 g of salt per 100 g or two slices. This means that each piece,  carries as much sodium as a small bag of potato chips. Even white sandwich bread rivals a bag of potato chips, with 1.37 grams of salt per 100 grams.
Flatbreads and wholemeal breads were saltier than other types, and mixed-grain breads had the lowest average salt content.
Bakers put sodium in packaged breads because it enhances the taste and acts as a preservative.

How to start reducing salt intake now

The main reason why salt is a health concern is that too much of it can raise blood pressure, which in turn can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Of course, salt is not the only risk factor for high blood pressure. Genetics, exercise, body weight, alcohol consumption, stress, age and overall diet also play a role. And some people may be more sensitive to salt and its health effects than others.

Most people should strive to eat no more than one teaspoon a day.

Of course, cooking fresh food at home is not always possible at a time when many of us rely on fast, ready-made foods to cope. That is why many public health officials continue to call on governments and industry to find ways to cut salt during food processing.
