Consensus Action on Salt and Health (CASH) published a study on the salt content of 800 types of cheese available at supermarkets. As a result, the majority or 98 percent of the households in the UK definitely buy cheese, after bread and meat.
Most consumers do not know that much about 30 grams (g) of the cheese they eat contains more salt than a bag of salt in 30 g of cassava chips. Salinity between the types of cheese that are sold in supermarkets have turned out differently.
Co-op type of cheese gorgonzola sauce contains six times higher than Sainsbury's cheese types. Morrisons Smooth & Tangy Cheese Farmhouse saline containing 0.63 per 30 g. While the types of Waitrose Reduced Fat Cheese Mild Light saltiness level 30 percent below other types of cheeses.
The cheese is very nutritious, full of calcium, vitamins, and minerals. However, the UK Dairy Council recommends that every household eating cheese appropriately. The reason, some kind of cheese has salt content above average body needs.
Public health nutritionists, and the Director of CASH, Katharine Jenner, suggesting the recommended levels of cheese per day that is two slices only. "We found two slices of cheese and two slices of bread contains 2 g of salt," he quoted from The Guardian, Friday (7/12).
The portion is the maximum level of normal children consumed at least three consecutive years. He also advised housewives to selectively choose the cheese. Because the cheese producers often deliberately add salt to the cheese outside the recommended limits of health. That was done to improve the durability of the cheese concerned.
