04/21/10 塩分のとりすぎに注意
A pinch here, a dash there,
and often, a whole lot more.
One of KFC's new sandwiches
has more than half the sodium
we're supposed to eat all day.
And this chicken parm,
well over the recommended
daily amount.
So the FDA is now considering
creating regulations,
not recommendations,
but actual legal limits
on the amount of salt allowed
in everything
from soup to nuts.
Sodium in the American diet
is a very serious problem.
It's not that we are heavy-handed
with the salt shaker,
it's that most of the salt
we consume
is actually cooked into the foods
we buy.
So, this is the amount of salt
you are supposed to have in a year,
and this is the amount
we actually end up consuming:
50% more.
And most Americans
don't even realize it.
こちらでひとつまみ
あちらでひと振り。
このバーガーが 含む塩分は
1日の基準値の半分を超える。
こちらのチキン料理では
1日分をはるかに超える。
現在政府は勧告ではない
規制法案の作成を検討。
食品に含まれる塩分の許容値を
法的に定めるという。
塩 分のとりすぎは深刻です。
私たちは塩分のほとんどを
調理済みの食品からとっている。
こ れが１年分の標準量だが―
実際に摂取した量は
これほどになる。
気づかぬうちに
5割もとりすぎている。
