It is a pity that Delia Smith is encouraging the use of convenience foods in meal preparation - because most convenience foods are high in salt...

Delia Smith's 'cheats' fly off the shelves
article in the Sunday Telegraph about the increase in sales of convenience food products featured in Delia's 'How to Cheat at Cooking’ book and TV programme

What a pity Delia is encouraging the eating of convenience foods - because most of them contain a lot of added salt. - As well as increasing the incidence and severity of obesity, added salt raises blood pressure and has many other ill-effects on people's health.

Lose weight, reduce your risk of most cancers, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, stroke, heart disease, vascular dementia, osteopenia, osteoporosis, hypercholesterolaemia, depression, liver and kidney problems, and improve your health in many other ways without drugs or expense by eating less salt! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!
