CASH announces Salt Awareness Week 2017, which has the intentionally alarming theme, The Forgotten Killer.
This year's Salt Awareness Week, organised by Sustain member Consensus Action on Salt and Health (CASH), will take place from 20 - 26 March.
Over the week, CASH will be reminding people that salt raises blood pressure, leading to strokes and heart attacks, and that by simply eating less we can lower our chances of dying prematurely. It will emphasise the need for further work to reach the 6g per day salt target.
As events are finalised, details will be posted on the CASH website here.
