Strategies to Reduce Sodium Intake in the United States
Reducing the intake of sodium is an important public health goal for Americans. Since the 1970s, an array of public health interventions and national dietary guidelines has sought to reduce sodium intake. However, the U.S. population still consumes more sodium than is recommended, placing individuals at risk for diseases related to elevated blood pressure. Strategies to Reduce Sodium Intake in the United States evaluates and makes recommendations about strategies that could be implemented to reduce dietary sodium intake to levels recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The book reviews past and ongoing efforts to reduce the sodium content of the food supply and to motivate consumers to change behavior. Based on past lessons learned, the book makes recommendations for future initiatives. It is an excellent resource for federal and state public health officials, the processed food and food service industries, health care professionals, consumer advocacy groups, and academic researchers.
Dietary Sugar, Salt and Fat in Human Health
Divided into four main sections, Dietary Sugar, Salt and Fat in Human Health explores the biochemical, pharmacological and medicinal aspects related to the overindulgence of dietary salt, sugar, and fat, along with possible remedies. Beginning with a general overview, the text outlines aspects associated with advancing age and human physiology, such as different aspects of insulin resistance, the advancing age phenomenon, central fat accumulation and metabolic perturbations and the role of the modern Western diet and the influence of dietary sugar, salt, and fat, with particular focus on their relation to multiple biochemical pathophysiological pathways. The second section of the book focuse...
Salt Wars
"Written by Michael Jacobson, Ph.D., one of the most prominent advocates for sodium reduction since the 1970s, this book is a clarion call for radical change in America's relationship to salt"--

The Hunger for Salt
Abstract: Various aspects of salt ingestion are discussed in an authoritative reference text (27 chapters) for clinical nutritionists, dietitians, health anthropologists, and other health professionals. Topics include: the relevance of sodium (Na) in body fluids; Na deficiency and salt appetite; hominoid evolution and historical aspects of salt; and specific effects of Na deficiency (physiologic effects; salt taste and response; water depletion; rapid systemic correction of Na deficiency; and endocrine effects of rapid satiation of salt appetite). The discussion of factors which influence salt appetite covers: plasma volume change, hepatic Na receptors, the renin-angiotensin system and experimental hypertension, and salt-appetite during reproduction. Clinical studies are cited and theories on the genesis and satiation of salt appetite are reviewed. Related topics which are discussed include the stimulating effect of steroids on salt appetite; electrical stimulation; the appetite for phosphate, calcium, magnesium, and potassium; and salt intake and high blood pressure.

Advances in Molten Salt Chemistry
The first chapter of this volume deals with computer simulation of molten salt behavior by molecular dynamics calculations. The next four chapters are reviews of experimental work: Chapter 2 deals with the solubility of nonre active gases in molten salts, Chapter 3 with various types of organic reactions in molten tetrachloroaluminates, Chapter 4 with techniques for the study of molten fluorides, and Chapter 5 with the physical and chemical properties of thiocyanate melts. The last chapter is a collection of phase diagrams for binary and ternary fluoride systems. J. B., G. M., G. P. S. v CONTENTS Chapter 1 MOLECULAR DYNAMICS CALCULATIONS ON MOLTEN IONIC SALTS L. V.

Molten Salt Techniques
This second volume carries on the excellent work of its predecessor, ex tending its scope to other melts and to other techniques. It continues to present first-hand understanding and experience of this difficult and demanding field. There is ever present the trade-off or reconciliation between the novel chemistry of systems not dominated by the mediating influence of a supposedly indifferent solvent and the high temperatures required to effect the fluidity of the system. At the limit, the very high temperatures so increase the rates of all reactions as to dissolve the temporal difference between the thermodynamic and the kinetic view of chemistry. What can happen will happen and invariably d...
