FDA to Control Salt Intake, Not Aspartame or High Fructose Corn Syrup
The FDA plans to control intake of salt, a natural and necessary food. Meanwhile, known killers like aspartame and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) are left free to continue their destruction of health. As ever, the usual incestuous techniques have led to this latest ploy to hand over our food supply to Agribusiness, and the marketing campaign to convince you it’s a good thing is in full swing, with full cooperation of the news media.
The Incestuous Relationship Between FDA and IOM
A report by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) is cited to support the FDA’s control of salt. However, the IOM was not asked to report on whether we should limit salt intake. They were asked to report on howto limit salt intake. The question of whether it should be limited was treated as a foregone conclusion and was not part of the IOM’s remit for this project—though the IOM accepted the presumption that salt is dangerous.
At this point, the FDA says that it isn’t actually planning to regulate salt intake. However, the FDA sponsored the IOM report, which asked them to focus on strategies for limiting salt intake. It’s a stretch to believe that the FDA has no intention of doing it. In fact, the IOM’s report recommends:
As its primary strategy for sodium reduction, the committee recommends that the FDA set mandatory national standards for the sodium content in foods—not banning outright the addition of salt to foods but beginning the process of reducing excess sodium in processed foods and menu items to a safer level. It is important that the reduction in sodium content of foods be carried out gradually, with small reductions instituted regularly as part of a carefully monitored process. [Emphasis mine, not IOM's.]
The FDA cites the IOM’s report:
A new report from the Institute of Medicine this week concludes that national action is imperative to reduce the sodium content of foods if we are to make significant progress toward reducing the risk of hypertension and major cardiovascular events for Americans.
So, we have an incestuous relationship between the FDA and the IOM. The IOM was paid to produce a report on how to limit salt intake, and the FDA sponsored it. Now, the FDA cites the results in support of regulating salt consumption.
