Men aged 50 stand to lose around two years and three months of their life by consuming extra salt - while women the same age could see their life expectancy drop by around a year-and-a-half, the research concluded.

The new study was led by Professor Lu Qi, of Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine in New Orleans in the US.

Even a"modest reduction" in sodium intake can result in"substantial health benefits", Professor Qi said. The risks of early death linked to added salt were slightly reduced in people who ate more fruit and vegetables - however the difference was not"significant".

I stopped adding salt to my food when I was 14. Never really liked the taste of salt. There’s loads in food already

Wow, a whole 2 more years to live! How about living forever?😇

so i die at 87 instead of 89. Bigdeal. I like salt!

Doesn’t the body need a certain percentage of salt intake on a daily/weekly basis.?

Another reason for me to not like salt

Salt!! Not all the artificial stuff that have actually been proven to cause you harm!🫣! Salt that stuff if we don’t have enough of it in our system will actually cause our deaths! Journalists you are not! Puppets you most definitely are 🫣

Now its the salt, but crickets about the death jab.

Tell that to my nan. She died at 96 and loved her salt. Also smoked 40 cigs a day and drank half a bottle of whiskey a day!!! Strange nobody has ever mention individual metabolism! She could have lived an extra 2 years? Government could afford THAT! Thank her for her tax!!

In 6 months: Adding extra salt to food is the key to immortality, study finds.

We have reduced fat, reduced sugar, low carb, gluten and dairy free foods. Definitely time for salt free foods. Let folks add their own to their personal preference.

This is directly contradicting India's population growth and life expectancy rates. Lol

CRAP

mavarico

Rubbish, my friend eats salt with literally everything thats savoury and had a heart attack and had to have an op.

And eating bland food drives you to McDonald’s 👍

I believe it is two years and 2 months and 3 weeks, not 2 months... 🤦‍♂️

Just being alive could reduce life expectancy. Do what makes you happy and pay no notice to msm

Who wants to live longer at the moment 😂

Would like to see how that test is done….. BS…

If, could, maybe, probably, possibly.

That’ll be the two years you spend as a senile double incontient in a care home.

I did a did a study as well! My study proves that All living creatures die in various ways. So death is something none of us can avoid. What truly matters is how We live. Sadly felt the need to focus on the negative instead of the positive.

The way the government are running this country I fear we will loose many more with lack of food and heating.

Just like 5 covid Jabs.... semi-skimmed milk.. Vit D levels are morbidly low...

Or study agrees with many previous studies .

My grandmother put extra salt to her food she was 125year before she passed away,scientists of nowadays 😒

Do u wanna tell me that i already have 15years less? Why do u want me to get a heart attack? Don't know how many times I've done this...

At least you get to east tasty food, instead of eating bland food for an extra two miserable years. I'll take the salt thanks.

So can adding vodka to my coco pops

I mean, it’s not like those two years in the future look great

But you still not get your pension.

Is the last 2, what good are they, take em, take em now I am not spoiling my fish n chips.

Eating unseasoned food can reduce lives worth by 100%

Only two? *adds more salt*

But we can't to live without salt either: some salt need for our blood to keep ability to carry oxygen

That’ll be the 2 years you’re incontinent and sat in gods waiting room. Somebody pass the salt please. 🧂

Worth it

Ban salt..!! it's a killer..just like cigarettes...
