Want to live a long, healthy life?
Then put down the salt shaker.
In Salt: Black America’s Silent Killer, cardiac surgeon Surender R. Neravetla reveals that basic table salt—along with all that hidden sodium in processed foods—is decimating the Black American population.
This culinary go-to staple kills more Black Americans than all other diseases combined. It also triggers a host of debilitating conditions including:
- Cardiovascular disease
- Strokes
- Asthma
- Osteoporosis
- Obesity
- Kidney disease
- Stomach cancer
- Dementia
That’s right. Salt.

These salt-related diseases hit at far younger ages.
Black Americans’ salt-related health challenges are usually two to six times more acute.
