Number of drink deaths doubles in 13 years

Extract:

"Britain is in the grip of an alcohol crisis, according to official figures which show the number of people drinking themselves to death has almost doubled.

In 2004 there were 8,221 alcohol-related deaths, such as cirrhosis of the liver, in the UK, almost double the total of 4,144 in 1991. Of those 5,465 were men and 2,915 women.

Men and women in Scotland are twice as likely to die an alcohol-related death as people in the UK as a whole."


What is seldom, if ever, stated, is that salt sensitivity plays a large part in cirrhosis of the liver and so cutting down significantly on salt/sodium intake can lessen your chances of developing cirrhosis of the liver or can reduce its severity.

See http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/conditions.html for many other health problems that can be prevented or reduced by eating less salt/sodium.
