Babies fed too much salt, research finds

MORE than two thirds of 8-month-old babies eat too much salt because they are fed a diet of processed food, a study has revealed.

Tinned spaghetti, baked beans, bread and cows’ milk are among the foods blamed for babies eating too much salt.

The findings are based on almost 1,200 participants in the Children of the 90s study published online by the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
