Health authorities are warning of dangerous levels of salt consumption in Turkey. While the World Health Organization recommends 5 grams daily, the average Turkish individual consumes 15 grams.
According to cardiology professor Murad Sunbul, this excessive consumption poses a real health risk that extends beyond high blood pressure alone. Experts are calling for a national awareness campaign to reduce salt consumption and protect the population from heart disease and health complications.
