Did you know that, according to the World Health Organization, salt is the deadliest ingredient in the modern food chain?

-> We are likely consuming over 8 times what is optimum for health.
-> Salt is a major factor in 8 of the top 15 diseases killing us.
-> Getting too little salt is nearly impossible.

The good news is that, if you try, it is fairly easy to reset your salt taste buds so that your food still tastes salty with less than 1/4 of the sodium you currently consume.

The conversation in this Meetup will be led by Allen Rowley, a retired physician and passionate advocate for whole-foods, plant-based lifestyle. After years spending decades working in “sick care,” Allen is now dedicated to learning more about how we can truly care for our health.

We will talk about:
– Health issues associated with salt
– Most common sources of salt in food
– Different kinds of salt
– How to make better choices at the grocery store
– Challenges of low-salt eating when dining out
– Prospects for upcoming legislation in Canada.
