How food industry lobbyists and a small group of scientists have successfully fought government efforts to reduce dangerous levels of sodium in our food.

A high-sodium diet is deadly; studies have linked it to high blood pressure, strokes, and heart attacks. It's been estimated that excess sodium in the American diet causes as many as 100,000 deaths deaths and many billions of dollars in avoidable health-care costs each year. And yet salt is everywhere in our diets—in packaged foods, fast foods, and especially meals at table-service restaurants. Why hasn't salt received the sort of public attention and regulatory action that sugar and fat have? In Salt Wars, Michael Jacobson explains how the American food industry and a small group of scientists have successfully fought government efforts to reduce dangerous levels of sodium in our food.
Despite an abundance of research going back more than half a century showing that high-sodium diets lead to hypertension and other ills, a few scientists argue the opposite—that American consume a healthy amount of salt and that eating less would increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. This “man bites dog” take on sodium confused consumers and was enthusiastically taken up by food industry lobbyists. Jacobson, a salt wars combatant for more than forty years, explains what science actually says about salt intake and rebuts “sodium skeptics.” He discusses what other countries are doing to cut dietary salt, and describes some recent victories in the United States. He advises readers how to reduce salt—warning them against “salt bombs” (Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup, for example, packs an entire day's worth of sodium in one can)—and calls on them to suit up for the next battle in the salt wars.

Does its job.
Always a go to before oil changes. Helps remove some extra sludge/deposits. DO NOT DRIVE OR REV THE VEHICLE WHEN USNG THE PRODUCT, only idle for 10-15 min. Ive seen reviews where people drove with it potentially ruining the engine.

Calidad de limpieza al motor
Excelente producto, lo llevo usándolo un buen tiempo, en cada cambio de aceite, limpia bien por dentro del motor. Es fácil usarlo, hecharlo donde se llena el aceite del motor, y enciende el motor espere 10 minutos, y apague el motor, y vuelve a esperar 25 o 30 minutos para que se enfríe el motor, ya cumplido lo 25 o 30 minutos sacar el aceite viejo del motor. Listo, producto muy recomendable. Excelente funcionamiento, chevy silverado 2004

Excellent plugs, superb performance
Exactly as described at a decent price. I've found over my decades of doing my own tune ups, the one thing you can't skimp on when tuning up your vehicle, plugs and its shows if you do. Out of the box, all 4 were gapped correctly. Ease of installation depends on your vehicle and ones mechanical ability with PATIENCE. 100% compatible with my vehicle, be sure to match you numbers. Overall 5 stars for performance and price.

💯% Authentic NGK Made in Japan.
Got these for my 2016 Subaru Crosstrek. You can't go wrong with NGK, these are 💯% AUTHENTIC, and made in Japan, unlike other NGK plugs that may be sold by other sellers which could be made in Thailand. The Subaru Crosstrek is running like a brand new vehicle after I put these puppies in it.
