I was born into a family which has a predisposition to high BP. Whether
it is genetic or not is yet to be proved. If the younger members of my
extended family prove to be resistant through education on the use of
salt in food, then it will prove something to me at least.

I live in Australia, you live in the US, a country I have no intention
of visiting in the foreseeable future. legislation in YOUR country will
have no effect on me whatsoever. As for personal problems, please be
reminded that I do not have a problem with salt as I avoid its use where
possible. You, however, may or may not have a problem with salt in YOUR
future. All I wish for in my country (Australia, remember!) is that it
be easier for people such as I to easily avoid excesses of salt. It has
already become much easier for people such as myself to avoid the
effects of passive smoking through legislation so one lives in hope.
