The Food Standards Agency has a big push on right now to get all Britain's to reduce their salt intake to 6 grams a day. Apparently we eat too much salt, and we aren't even aware of it. Most of it (75%) is already in the food we buy.
Why cut down on salt? Because it can raise your blood pressure and triple your chance of stroke and heart disease.
But exactly how much is 6 grams of salt and how are we supposed to know we're consuming it if it's hidden in the bread and breakfast cereals we eat every day? To help out, the FSA has put together a helpful list here in case you want to know which foods are typically high in salt...
