By eliminating industrial trans fatty acids, Kenya could save an estimated Ksh. 4.1 billion in the healthcare system. This is demonstrated in the new modeling study by Matti Marklund The George Institute for Global Health International Institute for Legislative Affairs

"We have always known that potassium has a role in blood pressure control, but we didn’t realise just how important it could be." New study shows more than two-thirds of the blood pressure lowering effect of salt substitute is due to the added potassium: buff.ly/42Jzz6N

New findings published in The BMJ by Matti Marklund and @Dr_WuJ predict banning harmful trans fatty acids from the Nigerian food supply could prevent approx 10,000 heart disease deaths. Mirroring findings from a separate study we led in Kenya last year, the research reveals

Exciting news from Kenya! Implementing trans fat restrictions can lead to significant health benefits and cost savings. Let's make healthier choices for a better tomorrow. #HealthForAll #KenyaHealth 🥗💪 buff.ly/3KbVtXC

Great to have the opportunity to talk about the high levels of sodium in Australian everyday foods with Melissa Davey Guardian Australia. Our new modelling paper shows just many lives would be saved if we mandated WHO's stringent levels. theguardian.com/australia-news…

New The Lancet Public Health study: ~40,000 heart attacks & strokes could be prevented in #Australia in 10-year period if World Health Organization (WHO) recommended salt limits used for packaged foods.

THREE great papers out The Lancet Public Health 1. Our colleague Dr Monique Tan Centre for Public Health & Policy (CPHP) building the case for mandatory #salt targets shorturl.at/nHxhq 2. Matti Marklund + Kathy Trieu modelling study on health and cost savings of mandating sodium benchmarks in Australia + India 👏

🚨 New in The Lancet Public Health! Mandating WHO sodium (Na) benchmarks for packaged foods in Australia and India could save lives & cut health costs🌍Details⬇️ 🇦🇺 (most Na from packaged foods): sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 🇮🇳 (lower, but increasing packaged food intake): sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

With sodium's clear links to multiple large-scale health issues, it's a no brainer to reduce the levels in our foods. 80% of Australia's salt is consumed in packaged foods, putting the onus on industry to take action. Voluntary targets don't cut it. bit.ly/48vy8M4
