Please join @MomsRising, @AmHeartAdvocacy and @CSPI Friday, July 24th from 1 pm to 2pm EDT for a #FoodFri tweetchat to discuss sodium.
Congress, companies and some school food service organizations are trying to roll back sodium guidelines for school foods. Some reporters are calling into question the science behind the need to lower sodium in our diets.
Join us to discuss what’s happening with sodium in schools, the evidence for decreasing sodium intake, how to do it, and why it’s important for both adults and kids.
