过去40年间，中国成年人平均每天食盐摄入量在10克以上，超过世界卫生组织推荐量的两倍。

　　Salt intake in China is confirmed to be among the highest in the world， with adults over the past four decades consistently consuming on average above 10 grams of salt a day， more than twice the recommended limit， according to new research led by Queen Mary University of London.

　　他们发现，中国3到6岁的儿童每天摄入5克盐，这是世界卫生组织推荐成人摄入量的最大值。

　　They found that Chinese children aged three-to-six years old are eating five grams of salt every day―the maximum amount of salt recommended by the World Health Organization for adults.

　　研究人员认为原因包括中国政府在提高全民减盐认识方面做了很多努力，也包括百姓因一年四季蔬菜丰富而对腌菜等食品的依赖逐渐减少。
