Conclusion.

NaCl

Source: 1- Mining.2- Sea Water (brine)

Boiling Brine into pure salt

Relation of Salt and Na:

Table Salt had 40%-60% Na.

1 gm salt has 400mg-600mg Na.

One tea spoon of Salt has : -2300 mg Na. -3500-5500 mg Salt.

Introduction 1. Salt played an important part in Civilizations

for centuries.

2. Its use mentioned since 6050 BC.

3. Egyptian were using it for trade between Phoenicians an Mediterranean's.

4. It is a major preservative. It was used in preparing conserving the Mummies in Egypt.

5. It is mentioned in Assyrian, Babylonian, Chinese and Greek history.

Historic pointsSalary = Salarium Argentum= Salt rations for roman solders.

Salad = Salt.

One of the commodities in the past. Used as Currency and trade. Soldiers were paid by Salt. Taxies were put on salt trade.

Salt raotes in the Roman times.

Romans Salt Routes.

Salt in different countries Austria: Salzburg = City of Salt.

Tuzla: Bosina-Herzegovina. ( Tuz= Salt).

Jordan: As-Salt town. In Byzantine times.

Syracuse, New York = Salt City.

Salt in Wars and Revolutions: 16th Century; Spanish bankruptcy after blockade of Iberian

Salt works by Dutch.

1789-1791; French Revolution.

18th century Salt played a role in the American Revolutions when British strategies were to deny American rebels access to salt.

1812; Napoleon retreat from Moscow many soldiers died because of unhealed wound from lack of salt.

1864. American Civil war. Saltville battle in Virginia.

1930, Gandhi Revolution against British salt taxation in India. Walk to the sea to gather tax free salt for nations poor.

Salt Monopoly and taxation 2200 BC Chinese emperor taxed salt.

1259-1946; “Gabelle” French kings used salt tax.

1785 Salt Taxes support British colonies. 10000 peoples arrested in England for smuggling salt.

1825; Erie Canal in New York. The ditch that salt built. Salt tax revenues paid half cost.

Until 1975 Italy taxes the Salt by 70%.

World free trade had lead to abolishing of this Monopoly. As in Taiwan.

Salt and religion. Egyptian Mummies.

Greek Worshippers.

Jewish Temple offering include salt.

Catholic Church use salt in Purifying rituals.

Buddhist salt repels evil spirit.

Reducing Salt reduce BP

Interventional study. N = 3000. Randomized to salt reduction and control. In two cohort populations. Net salt reduction was 33-44mmol/day. Followed for 10-15years.

Results: Cardiovascular events were 25% less in the

interventional group.

Decreased salt by 25-30%

Results:TOHP I decreased BP -1.7/0.9mmHg.TOHP II decreased BP – 1.2/0.7mmHg

Reducing salt reduce BP in South Asian population in UK

• Modest salt reduction 4gm/day for 6 wks.

• Decreased BP by -5.4/2.2 mmHg

Salt reduction in new born.

Aim: effect of low salt diet on new born BP.

N=500 new born. For 6months. Randomized study to moderate salt reduction.

Results : At 6 months the systolic BP was lower by

2.1mmHg. The reduction in BP was maintained after 15 years.

36

Two Village controlled Low salt study

2 villages in Portugal. One village had been offered low salt

processed food. It was given information on how to reduce

the salt.

Results: After one year BP was less and in two years

both systolic and diastolic BP were lower. Forte J G, Miguel J M, Miguel M J, et al.. Salt and blood pressure: a community trial. J Hum Hypertens. 1989;3:179-84.

Treatment trials

Salt reduction in three levels 12, 6, 3gm/day. In mild untreated essential HTN individuals:

Lower BP in lower salt intake.

Continued BP control for one year.

Current dietary guidelines for Americans recommend that adults in general should consume no more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. At the same time, consume potassium-rich foods, such as fruits and vegetables. However, if you are in the following population groups, you should consume no more than 1,500 mg of sodium per day, and meet the potassium recommendation (4,700 mg/day) with food.

Most Americans Should Consume Less Sodium(1,500 mg/day or less

Cochrane reviewAim: Salt reduction and Cardiovascular Mortality.Total studies were 7 RCTs.Population was 6489.(758 (11.6 %)were HTN).Follow up was variable 3-13 years.

Results:No strong evidence that reduce salt is beneficial.2.6 folds higher mortality in heart failure with decreased salt intake.

decreased urine protein by 19.4%.Swift P A, Markandu N D, Sagnella G A, He F J, Macgregor G A. Modest Salt Reduction Reduces Blood Pressure and Urine Protein Excretion in Black Hypertensives. A Randomized Control Trial. Hypertension. 2005; 46:308-12

Water retention

Access Salt cause more water retention in: Heart failure. Renal failure. Cirrhosis patients. In women cyclical and idiopathic edema. Sitting for long time like long flights.

How to start decreasing the salt in a community?

Laws to start to enforce: Establishing and evaluating public-awareness campaigns.“

"Setting progressive salt targets for reformulating existing processed food and engaging with the food industry in setting standards for new foods."

"Surveying population salt intake, progress of reformulation, and effectiveness of communication."

"Engagement with industry, including regulation, to create a level playing field so as not to disadvantage more enlightened and progressive companies."

Conclusion: Salt is strongly related to our lives.

It is one of the oldest compounds used.

It is strongly related with many diseases:HTN.Stroke.Kidney disease.Kidney stones.Osteoporosis.Stomach Cancer.Obesity.Meniere’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease.

Take Home Message

Reducing salt in our diet is recommended.

Normotensive: 4-6 gm per day.

Hypertensive: 2-4 gm per day.
