But salt-reduction advocates MacGregor and Cappuccio say such a trial would be prohibitively expensive, unnecessary, and may even be unethical. Again they draw comparisons with smoking. Since, in their view, the harms of salt are indisputable, asking people to be kept on a high salt diet for the purposes of a medical e...
Until the row is settled, people’s salt intake will probably be guided by personal taste.
The match-up pitted the Stallions against their coach from last season in Hartsoe, who is in his first year with Fort Mill after spending six seasons at South Pointe.
Hartsoe said coming in that it was "just another game" and he had coached before against his former schools.
After the game however, Hartsoe wasn't happy with how his team played.
"Out seniors didn't make plays," he said. "We have to become tougher mentally and physically. They are a good defensive team, but we have got to handle the pressure."
Fort Mill carried a six-point lead into the fourth quarter at 44-38, but struggled throughout with turnovers, posting 18 in the game.
Miller scored 21 for South Pointe and led the Stallions on a fourth quarter charged that saw them keep pecking away at the Jackets' lead.
South Pointe opened the final period by pressing Fort Mill, and Miller tied the game at 47 with five minutes left.
From there, Fort Mill took a small three-point lead, but South Pointe didn't go away and took the lead at 51-50 with 1:46 left in the game.
It was back and forth for the remainder of the game, with each team taking the lead away from the other.
Fort Mill's Jon Brown, who led the Jackets with 18 points, tied the game at 53 after missing the first of two free throws with 10.5 seconds left.
The Jackets outshot South Pointe, but turnovers gave the Stallions the opportunities they needed to get the win.
In the fourth quarter, Fort Mill turned the ball over six times, as much as South Pointe did the entire game. The Stallions shot 50 percent from the field in the final period, while the Jackets struggled to take just six shots - making just one.
Miller scored eight of his 21 points in the final period and every time it seemed as if Fort Mill was going to pull away, Miller kept the Stallions in the game.
Fort Mill opened the game outscoring South Pointe 15-9 after the first quarter, but the two teams then matched each other in the second and third quarters nearly shot for shot as they would both score 13 and 16 points, respectively.

Australian hurdler Sally Pearson is in top form approaching the Olympics as Caster Semenya plans a low-key build-up.
Australia's Sally Pearson laid down a marker ahead of the London Olympics by winning the 100 metres hurdles at the Melbourne Track Classic in a scorching 12.49 seconds in drizzly rain on Saturday.
The world champion, a strong contender for gold in London, charged out of the blocks and streaked away from the field to cross more than seven-tenths of a second in front of American Yvette Lewis at Lakeside stadium.
London Olympics. That's still a fair way away and there's a lot more training to go," said Pearson after celebrating victory by skipping and jumping along the track in front of roaring fans in the stands.
"My rivals) will probably be worried, but at the same time, there's nothing I can do about that"
"I'm in good shape and I'm loving it and I'm just going to look after myself, that's all I can do.
"(My rivals) will probably be worried, but at the same time, there's nothing I can do about that."
Pearson's time on a damp, spongy track that had absorbed a day's rain improved on her 12.66 at Sydney last week and shows ominous form five months and three days before the hurdles heats kick off on August 6 in London.
the Daegu world championships and at a Diamond League meeting in Birmingham last year.
Although appearing flawless in its execution, her 22nd victory in her last 23 races in the event took her by surprise.
completely off at the moment'.
"I came back and it was so much better than I thought it was going to be."
While Pearson scares rivals with her speed, former world 800 metres champion Caster Semenya plans to take a "less is more" approach in her build-up to the London Olympics, the South African said on Saturday.
"I will be looking for a fast time at the SA champs (South Africa's national championships in Port Elizabeth in April) and will then run maybe three or four races before the Olympics," Semenya told reporters in Bellville, Cape Town.
The 21-year-old, now coached by Maria Mutola, was speaking after making a low-key return to the track, winning her 400 metres race in 53.62 seconds at the inter-provincial meeting.
"I'm on track," Semenya said.
"Today was a good race, I am very happy with where I am and think I could have gone faster if I needed to."
Semenya, who won gold at the 2009 world championships in Berlin and silver at the 2011 edition in Daegu, South Korea, joined forces with Mozambique's Mutola, herself an Olympic and world champion over 800 metres, in October.
"Maria is really good for me," Semenya said.
"She has not changed much in my program, but is really working more on my race tactics and some technique work."
According to Lonely Planet, the world’s largest travel guide book publisher, the Copenhagen district of Vesterbro is among the coolest neighbourhoods in the world.
Lonely Planet surveyed its readers from around the world to share their view on the planet’s must-see hoods and Vesterbro made the top ten neighbourhood list.
“Thanks to its colourful history and despite its increasing popularity, Copenhagen‘s coolest neighbourhood has managed to maintain its edge. Home to some of the city’s best street art, vibrant Vesterbro is packed with cool independent shops, street markets, restaurants and bars,” Lonely Planet wrote.
Lonely Planet also mentioned local breweries Mikkeller and Fermentoren as places beer craft lovers would enjoy visiting.
Along with Vesterbro, the nine other ‘hip’ districts included on the list were Borgo San Frediano (Florence), Tooting (London), Sunset Park (New York City), The Triangle (Lisbon), Seongsu-dong (Seoul), Frelard (Seattle), Botafogo (Rio de Janeiro), Damansara Heights (Kuala Lumpur) and Business Bay (Dubai).

A US company is taking plastics recycling to another level – turning them back into the oil they were made from, and gas.
All that is needed, claims Global Resource Corporation (GRC), is a finely tuned microwave and – hey presto! – a mix of materials that were made from oil can be reduced back to oil and combustible gas (and a few leftovers).
Key to GRC’s process is a machine that uses 1200 different frequencies within the microwave range, which act on specific hydrocarbon materials. As the material is zapped at the appropriate wavelength, part of the hydrocarbons that make up the plastic and rubber in the material are broken down into diesel oil and combus...
GRC’s machine is called the Hawk-10. Its smaller incarnations look just like an industrial microwave with bits of machinery attached to it. Larger versions resemble a concrete mixer.
Whatever does not have a hydrocarbon base is left behind, minus any water it contained as this gets evaporated in the microwave.
“Take a piece of copper wiring,” says Meddick. “It is encased in plastic – a kind of hydrocarbon material. We release all the hydrocarbons, which strips the casing off the wire.” Not only does the process produce fuel in the form of oil and gas, it also makes it easier to extract the copper wire for recycling.
Similarly, running 9.1 kilograms of ground-up tyres through the Hawk-10 produces 4.54 litres of diesel oil, 1.42 cubic metres of combustible gas, 1 kg of steel and 3.40 kg of carbon black, Meddick says.
Gershow Recycling, a scrap metal company based in New York, US, has just said it will be the first to buy a Hawk-10. Gershow collects metal products, shreds them and turns them into usable pure metals. Most of its scrap comes from old cars, but for every ton of steel that the company recovers, between 226 kg and 318 kg...
Autofluff is the stuff that is left over after a car has been shredded and the steel extracted. It contains plastics, rubber, wood, paper, fabrics, glass, sand, dirt, and various bits of metal. GRC says its Hawk-10 can extract enough oil and gas from the left-over fluff to run the Hawk-10 itself and a number of other m...
Because it makes extracting reusable metal more efficient and evaporates water from autofluff, the Hawk-10 should also reduce the amount of end material that needs to be deposited in landfill sites.
DUBAI: The young Bangladesh side crushed team Sri Lanka by 137 runs in the opening Asia Cup match against Sri Lanka in Dubai on Saturday.
Sri Lanka was all out on 124 runs in 35.2 overs, in the chase of 262 runs.
Bangladesh middle-order batsman Mushfiqur Rahim notched his sixth one-day hundred to lift Bangladesh to 261 in the opening Asia Cup match against Sri Lanka in Dubai on Saturday.
The former captain's 150-ball 144 with 11 boundaries and four sixes -- a career-best score -- lifted Bangladesh from a precarious 1-2 in the first over after they won the toss and batted in the Group B match.
Rahim added 131 for the third wicket with Mohammad Mithun (63) to lead the recovery after recalled Sri Lankan paceman Lasith Malinga removed Liton Das and Shakib Al Hasan for ducks.
Malinga finished with 4-23 in his first match in 13 months.
Afghanistan is the third team in the group while title holders India, Pakistan and qualifiers Hong Kong are in Group A.
Press reports said Libyan officials identified Ahmed Abu Khattalah as the leader of the assault on the US consulate in Benghazi.
Anonymous Libyan authorities have identified the name of a man they say organized the attack on the US consulate, according to multiple press accounts.
But people with close knowledge of the Islamists networks in Libya express surprise that those same officials are calling Abu Khatalla “the founder and a leader” of Ansar al-Sharia, a militant Islamist group that has also been linked to the consulate attack.
“It is 100 percent not true that Ahmed Abu Khatallah is the founder of Ansar al-Shariah,” says Jahiyah Kuwafi, a member of the Justice and Construction Party, the political party of the Muslim Brotherhood in Libya, who has been in close contact with the leadership of Ansar al-Shariah in recent weeks.
Ahmed El-Gasir, a Libyan political activist, also cast doubt on the link.
Ahmed Abu Khatallah’s name first came up after the assassination of Abdul Fatah Younes, a prominent member of the Qaddafi regime until he defected to the rebellion and became their army chief of staff on Feb. 22, 2011. He was assassinated on July 28 under mysterious circumstances.
Mr. Younes had been placed under arrest on suspicion of treason, and was being brought back to Benghazi from the frontline in Brega when he was killed. A unit under control of Abu Khatallah was responsible for his transport, and was accused of killing him.
At the time it was suspected that former inmates of Qaddafi's infamous Abu Salim prison in Benghazi, of which Abu Khatallah was one, had taken revenge against Younes for his role in the persecution of suspected Islamic radicals under the Qaddafi regime.
Mr. Kuwafi situates Abu Khatallah somewhere to the right of Osama Bin Laden.
Denying the link between Abu Khatallah and Ansar al Sharia does not let Ansar al Sharia off the hook, says El-Gasir.
“Ansar Al-Shariah, or at least members of it, were on the scene; their cars were identified. Their spokesman has denied that it was involved 'as a group,' which was to me an implicit admission that members were involved. This was later verified by eyewitnesses," he says.
The identification of Ahmed Abu Khatallah comes amidst rumors of an imminent US drone attack on Islamic militants in Libya. Local security forces in the Green Mountains, between al-Bayda and Derna, have reportedly cornered a group of militants after they attacked a checkpoint in Soussa, killing four policemen.

A new Harrison Elementary School could be one of the Hamilton County Board of Education's priorities with new revenue.
Updated at 4:44 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2018 with more information.
Architects have been chosen to build and update seven public schools in Hamilton County, including Harrison Elementary, East Hamilton Middle, Chattanooga School for the Liberal Arts, Howard High, Snow Hill Elementary and Tyner Middle and High schools.
Hamilton County commissioners will vote next week whether to approve the architects, as well as to approve around $200,000 million in bonds to pay for those projects, a jail expansion and more.
County Mayor Jim Coppinger said Franklin Architects has been chosen to build a new Harrison Elementary and TWH Architects will construct the new East Hamilton Middle.
Derthick, Henley and Wilkerson will build the new CSLA and an addition at Tyner Middle and High schools, and Neuhoff Taylor Architects will build the Snow Hill addition. Barge Design Solutions will construct a new stadium and track for Howard High School.
"We're obviously excited about getting these projects started," Coppinger told commissioners at their Wednesday agenda session.
Tim Hensley, spokesman for Hamilton County Schools, said it's too early to get an idea of how the new school projects might look.
"There are no drawings or plans or budgets yet for the projects," Hensley said. "The board made their recommendations based on what the firms have done in the past, but official plans have not been made yet."
Commissioners will vote next week on two bond issues. A $195 million bond will supply $110 million for the school projects and $20 million for an expansion at the Silverdale correctional facility. The bond issue does not include any funds for a planned new wastewater treatment plant in the north end of the county, but ...
County Finance Administrator Al Kiser said variable interest rates on the line of credit "are going against us" just now. He said the county can set up another line of credit in the future if needed.
A smaller bond of around $4.4 million will go to refund some Recovery Zone bonds dating from the Great Recession.
Last year, commissioners approved a property tax hike to meet $225 million in capital education, economic development and jail needs while granting tax relief to qualifying elderly and disabled citizens.
