Paragraph 2
Salt is
for our health. However, too much of it can cause
diseases, like high blood
, strokes, and heart problems. These are the
causes of death globally. The World Health Organization recommends a daily salt
of less than 5 grams. In Japan, the
person has around 10.1g of salt a day. That's higher than the average of 8.5g for Americans. In many countries, around 75 per cent of salt in the
comes from processed foods, and from things like
sauce. The Electric Salt Spoon costs 19,800 yen (around $99). Kirin hopes to sell a
of them over the next five years. The spoon's developer has also created electric chopsticks. These will go on
next year.
