Sodium Reduction in Food: Where Are We Now? Extensive debate continues around the best approach for lowering population sodium intake, particularly given that public health campaigns related to labeling and education have had minimal impact. As a result, experts have more recently suggested that sodium reduction in the food supply is the only recourse. This session looked at that and other alternatives to addressing sodium intakes.

Ten years ago, two scientists had a hypothesis that the body’s glycemic response to food was personalized and due to not just food, but the person eating the food. To prove their hypothesis they conducted the largest nutrition trials ever conducted and demonstrated that the gut microbiome has meaningful predictive value.
