April 25, 2007, marks the seventh commemoration of Africa Malaria Day, a day chosen in 2000 by African governments to reaffirm their commitment, embodied in the Abuja Declaration (http://www.rbm.who.int/docs/abuja_declaration_final.htm), to halve the burden of malaria in Africa by 2010. Africa Malaria Day has served to remind the global community of the enormous burden exacted by this ancient scourge on the most impoverished and vulnerable populations in the world. This year, the United States government formally marks its solidarity with the global community by designating today “Malaria Awareness Day.”

Reducing sodium intake not only prevents high blood pressure, but also prevents heart disease, according to new clinical trial data from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health. Men and women with pre-hypertension who reduced their sodium intake by 25 to 35 percent had a 25 percent lower risk of total cardiovascular disease over the 10 to 15 years after they reduced their sodium intake.
