Hamburg. (bm) A joint report from the UK’s Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) and Committee on Toxicity (COT) found that the potential benefits of using potassium-based sodium replacers outweighed any perceived risks, and would have a large impact at the population level. They recommended that the British government should encourage the food industry to consider the use of sodium replacers to reduce the sodium content of food. Other topics of the week:
