00:00Swapping table salt for a potassium-enriched version could prevent millions of heart and kidney illnesses.
00:06Researchers at the George Institute for Global Health modeled a worldwide switch across 193 countries.
00:12They estimate about 2.96 million deaths a year could be prevented.
00:17They also estimate 10.17 million new cases of cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease.
00:23Replacing household salt alone could prevent an estimated 1.85 million deaths.
00:28Switching salt used in processed and restaurant foods could prevent another 1.56 million.
00:34The alternative replaces some of the sodium chloride with potassium chloride.
00:39It looks, tastes, and cooks like ordinary salt.
00:42Too much sodium and too little potassium are well-established causes of high blood pressure.
00:47About 1.4 billion adults worldwide have hypertension.
