High levels of 'hidden' salt in soup can increase the risk of cancer, experts have warned.

High levels of hidden salt in soup 'can increase the risk of cancer'
article in the Telegraph

Extract:

"People who regularly sit down to a warming bowl of soup could inadvertently be doing themselves long-term damage, according to Dr Rachel Thompson, science programme manager for the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF).

She warned that servings of some well-known brands contained half the recommended daily limit of salt intake.

Rather than a healthy comforting meal, soup was one of the "worst offenders" for high levels of hidden salt in food, she added.

Doctors have long warned that salt can increase the body's blood pressure and contribute to a stroke or a heart attack.

But recent research has suggested that too much salt could also be a factor in the development of stomach cancer."
