Sodium consumption

Compound 14 is diamagnetic and represents the first tetrasodium-dication cluster that is stabilized by two sterically congested silyKflu-orosilyl)phosphanide counterions (see Section II,D). It has been also independently synthesized through sodium consumption of 13 in the presence of styrene as catalyst in 24% yield. The electron reservoir of the Na) cluster can serve for reduction processes, that is, it reduces Me3SiCl to hexamethyldisilane (see Section II,F). The fact that 14 is intensely yellow, and not red or blue as observed for Na-loaded zeolites (28), suggests that the residual metal electrons are probably much less delocalized. 

It may be taken for granted that, if there is a wide variance in the potassium needs of individuals, the sodium needs vary also. We shall, however, dismiss this subject by commenting that the human consumption of sodium chloride is said to vary from 2 to 30 gm. per day,5 and that sodium salts become highly toxic when there is a potassium deficiency.6 It seems to the writer extremely unlikely that variations in sodium consumption should be attributed wholly to differences in "habit." The whole subject of low-salt diets needs to be re-examined with these facts in mind.

The most common use of salt is as part of daily diets. Although it is added directly to food, 75% of the salt consumed in the United States is a result of eating processed foods The National Academy of Sciences has determined that a minimum daily requirement of 500 mg of sodium is safe, which equates to 1,300 mg of salt. The Academy and the federal government recommend that sodium consumption be no more than 2,400 mg per day, which equals 6,100 mg of salt. Most Americans consume levels higher than this, and many health organizations recommend decreasing salt intake. Excess salt can lead to health problems such as elevated blood pressure, although recent research seems to indicate that normal or moderately... 

In addition to scaling, system performance also deteriorated. Only 86% SO removal efficiency was obtained at 150,000 ppm chloride, significantly lower than the 93% at base case conditions. Filter cake insoluble solids also decreased to 39% compared with 53% for the base case. Decreases of T0S and total alkalinity concentrations were observed and reflected the increased liquor loss and sodium consumption. 

When the chloride ion concentration is above 100,000 ppm, system performance deteriorated with the increase of chloride ion concentration. In addition to the decreasing scrubbing solution pH and SO removal efficiency, the filter cake insoluble solids also decreased and resulted in increased liquor losses and sodium consumptions.

Heart authorities in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and just about everywhere else urge citizens to cut back, way back, on salt and sodium consumption. For many people, this can help them to control hypertension. That s especially true for blacks and older men and women, all of whom are more salt sensitive than others. About 25 to 50 percent, perhaps more, of people with hypertension—not necessarily mildly elevated blood pressure—are sodium sensitive. Blacks have a higher rate of sodium sensitivity, but that leaves a lot of men and women who are not. 

The antisalt zealots like to point to the famous International Intersalt Study, the most comprehensive effort undertaken in this field thus far. Researchers looked at blood pressure and sodium intake in thirty-two countries. For the most part, the results revealed few links between sodium intake and hypertension in people around the world. That said, however, people in countries that had extremely high salt intake tended to have higher levels of blood pressure, while individuals with very little salt in their diets had lower levels. But these are the extremes. For most people in most countries, there was little association between salt and sodium consumption and blood pressure. And, paradoxically, people in Thailand who traditionally eat very salty diets had relatively low blood pressure levels. 

Even more disturbing was a study linking low sodium consumption with an increase in heart attack risk. Working with hypertensive men at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, Dr. Michael Alderman detected an unexpectedly high incidence of heart attacks in men who had low amounts of salt in their urine, reflecting their dietary restrictions. The study followed nearly two thousand men for almost four years. More than four times as many heart attacks occurred in men with the lowest amounts of sodium in their urine compared with men who had the highest amounts of urinary sodium. 

These data don t mean that everyone should rush out and start gobbling salt. The patients involved had significant hypertension and other factors to consider. But the findings do cast a big shadow on blanket recommendations that everyone should severely restrict his or her sodium consumption.
