    Take Action Against Hypertension, Heart Disease with 100% Natural, No Sodium True Lemon

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BALTIMORE, MD Americans today on average consume 1.5 teaspoons of salt daily , far above the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance of 2,400 milligrams or less. Medical experts say that excess sodium intake is related to hypertension (high blood pressure), heart disease and stroke. Today in the U.S. one in three adults, approximately 74.5 million people, have hypertension. Urged by the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in April 2010 announced a 10-year program to limit the amount of sodium that processed food manufacturers include in their products.

    Americans can reduce sodium intake in their diets by using True Lemon, True Lime or True Orange in the place of table salt and high-sodium beverages. True Citrus products are the only all-natural lemon, lime and orange products on the market today that have no sodium, calories or carbohydrates.

    True Citrus products are the only all-natural lemon, lime and orange products on the market today that have no salt, making them not only great additions to a cold glass of water but also a convenient and great-tasting substitute for salt in cooking, baking and seasoning.

    Each True Citrus packet contains the taste equivalent of two fruit wedges. Each has zero calories, zero grams of carbohydrates and zero fat. No artificial or natural sweeteners are included. No preservatives or sodium are included. Each packet contains 25 percent of an adult's U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance of Vitamin C.

    "Every day we hear from dietitians, nutritionists, diabetes educators and physicians who recommend True Lemon to their patients and clients," said David Schleider, founder and president of True Citrus, LLC. "True Citrus is cold-pressed, crystallized fruit that give water and foods more taste appeal without adding artificial or natural sweeteners or preservatives."

    Dr. David Framm, a board-certified cardiologist and internist in North Carolina, said "from the cardiac standpoint, lemon is an ideal salt substitute. It's palatable, and in the case of True Lemon, it's inexpensive, portable and healthy. It clearly has enough of the bite and flavor to replace either adding sodium (salt) to prepared foods or using salt to cook foods."

    Americans consume a great deal of fast food and pre-packaged foods with high sodium content. Sodas, colas and even drinks that are marketed as "natural" often have unacceptably high levels of sodium. While it will take years to get manufacturers to make changes, Americans can start improving their health today by making choices to limit added salt in their cooking and in the foods and drinks they buy and using no-sodium substitutes like True Citrus flavors whenever possible.

    True Citrus products are available in supermarkets nationwide. True Lemon has earned the National Health and Wellness Club and the Cooking Club of America Kitchen Tested seals of approval. True Lime has been in featured in the new book by "Biggest Loser" reality show nutritionist Cheryl Forberg, RD.
