Added Salt

Ingestion of excess salt may be an important factor in the development of hypertension in individuals who are predisposed to this disease genetically or through environmental factors. Some physicians and consumer groups have encouraged mothers to prepare their own baby foods, in part because of their concern that the physiologically unnecessary salt that is added by some commercial baby food manufacturers may lead to hypertension in adult life. This study presents data on the sodium concentration in 70 samples of homemade baby foods prepared by 36 mothers. The mean estimated amount of added salt was 0.41%/ weight—64% higher than the maximum recommended by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences. Home-prepared foods had a sodium concentration 1,005% higher than similar baby food products made by Heinz and Beech-Nut and 24% higher than products made by Gerber. The data suggest that advice to parents to prepare their own baby food or to feed their infant food from the table should be tempered with the knowledge that these foods may contain higher salt concentrations than the commercial baby foods.

Academy Of Sciences

The world's population has two major food problems. One relates to the lack of quantity of the world's food supply and the other relates to the quality of the diet selection. Guidelines are given for wise food selections. There has been a major debate since the Senate's Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs announced the dietary goals for the United States. It supports a low cholesterol, low saturated-high polyunsaturated and high fiber diet for all healthy Americans. This discussion shares the recent stance of the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences. It encourages further research before hardline decision are made. It reserves major diet modifications for individuals with adnormal clinical findings.
