FDA proposes slashing sodium in prepared foods

The move is aimed at preventing thousands of deaths every year from heart disease and stroke. Americans currently take in nearly 50 percent more than the recommended daily limit of sodium. CBS News medical contributor and cardiologist Dr. Tara Narula joins “CBS This Morning” to discuss the proposed guidelines. Source
