You know about salt and high blood pressure. But salt and cancer? Research suggests there may be a connection. Diets high in super salty foods could spell trouble for people's colons, early research suggests. Women in a study who subsisted on a traditional Japanese diet, which tends to be very high in sodium, exhibited an increased risk of colon cancer. More research is needed to confirm the link, but in the meantime, kick up the flavor of your favorite foods with herbs and low-sodium spices instead.
Limit your sodium intake to 1,600 milligrams or less per day
