World Salt Symposium

For more than 50 years, the World Salt Symposium has convened at intervals to assess the science and technology behind every aspect of salt.

3,000 years old underground aqueducts were used for irrigation and to produce purified salt for the Silk Road and to supply Europe - #WorldSaltSymposium2018 #HistoryofSalt #EssentialMineral

@iodineglobal You are very welcome.

Road salt saves lives. "Studies have shown that deicing roads w/ salt reduces accidents by 88% and injuries by 85%," - from Salt and Winter Maintenance panel at the #WorldSaltSymposium2018 #RoadSalt #WinterMaintenance

You have until the end of June to help us win $10,000 in #GivingChallengeCA! Each $1 is an entry into the grand prize draw. With $10,000 we could reach a cool million people around the world by supporting salt #iodization programs. Your support matters! https://t.co/1aHdq7BwQt

“Of US adults, only 9% consume less than 2,300 mg/day + just 0.6 % have sodium intake of less than 1,500 mg/day, making current sodium recommendations the most aggressive lifestyle intervention ever done in the history of mankind.” Jan A. Staessen - #WorldSaltSymposium

Road salt saves money. When snow and ice cause dangerous roads, it can cost state economies as much as $700M a day. Road salt deicing pays for itself in just 25 minutes -from the #WorldSaltSymposium2018 #WinterMaintenance2018 #RoadSalt

"Every winter, more than 116K Americans are injured + over 1,300 are killed on snowy, slushy, icy pavement," Salt and Winter Maintenance Panel - #WorldSaltSymposium2018 #RoadSalt

“We found that regardless of whether people have high blood pressure, low-sodium intake is related to more heart attacks, strokes, + deaths compared to average intake.” Dr. Andrew Mente, McMaster University , remarks at the #WorldSaltSymposium2018

[World Salt Symposium @WorldSaltSymp]

“There is a widespread practice of low-sodium diets in assisted living facilities, eventually leading to gait disorders, decreased reflex time, + increased risk of bone fractures in ambulatory patients, ” Mort Satin, a molecular biologist, at the #WorldSaltSymposium2018

4 of the world’s top scientists on cardiovascular health gathered at the #WorldSaltSymposium2018 + concluded that there is a need for large randomized controlled trials before any population wide sodium reduction recommendation can be made. @British_Salt @aaronecarroll

[World Salt Symposium @WorldSaltSymp]

Today's panels at the #WorldSaltSymposium2018 include: Getting the Media + Public to Embrace the Science of Salt, Solar Salt, Changing the Conversation about Salt + Health, Mining and Production Technology, and more.
Hope you can join us. #WorldSaltSymposium2018

"No government should tell any citizen what to eat." - Dr. David McCarron - #WorldSaltSymposium2018

[World Salt Symposium @WorldSaltSymp]

"We knew in 1972 that there were risks to low sodium diets." Dr. David McCarron, UCal-Davis. #WorldSaltSymposium2018 #EssentialMIneral

[World Salt Symposium @WorldSaltSymp]

“The evidence also demonstrates the futility of a national policy to reduce the food supply’s sodium content to lower the population’s intake. The brain will always win out over politics + misdirected policy.” Dr. David A. McCarron, #WorldSaltSymposium2018

[World Salt Symposium @WorldSaltSymp]

Dr. David McCarron kicks off the panel with "Anything Worth Doing Takes More Than A Lifetime:’ The Resolution of The Sodium and Health Debate.” Watch live here: https://t.co/TlLVTl41RN @LeahMcGrathRD @aaronecarroll #WorldSaltSymposium2018 #EssentialMineral

There should be more engagement from both sides and better alignment of interests, that's why it's important for the salt industry to understand the importance of #iodization in improving global health. https://t.co/0TcGqAoYXn

@iodineglobal @UNICEF @Kiwanis @WHO @NutritionIntl @JGorstein We love having you here!
