Yeah, thank you. So you asked about the experience in the UK
对，谢谢，你问及英国的经验
I was just at a meeting with investigators from the UK
我刚同英国的研究者开过会
and really I think people are quite hardened by the reduction,
由于这三五年内，
the measurable reduction in salt intake
盐摄取量明显减少
over the 3 to 5 years that they've been involved in these efforts
人们的决心越来越坚定了
They're in the process now of really analyzing the other types of data that you might want.
他们正在着手分析其它类型的数据
You're probably interested in did the blood pressures go down?
比如血压是否下降，
Did the heart attacks go down?
心脏病是否减少
And they're in the process of doing that
他们正着手做这个
They're still early on in all of this
不过这都还刚开始
But I think the experience of the UK suggests that it can in fact be done
不过我认为，英国的经验证明了，这是可行的
And if you look at the experience in other countries
其它国家的经验也值得借鉴
ather countries have taken this very seriously
这些国家都非常严肃

And if you look at Argentina, there've been really nice studies
比如阿根廷就做过很好的研究
In Argentina, they eat a lot of salt that comes from bread
阿根廷很多盐摄取都来自面包
And so there've been nice studies where they work with baker's
所以有研究者同面包商协作
and they actually say, put a little less salt in the bread
让其在面包中减少含盐量
and all of a sudden people are eating less salt
突然间，人们的盐摄取就少了
In countries where the salt intake comes from preserved fish
有些国家盐摄取主要来自咸鱼
they work with the manufacturers of preserved fish and they say, use a little less salt
于是有人同制造商协作，减少咸鱼中的盐
In countries where soy sauce is the main source of salt
有些国家酱油是主要的盐来源
they figured out how can we reformulate this
人们会重新设计配方
Each country has taken slightly different approaches to doing this
每个国家的做法都有所不同
And the UK is probably, the experience is probably closest to ours
英国也许是同美国最相似的
Where they really worked with processed food manufacturers to do this
他们是同加工食品生产商协作
And I think the people who've lead this effort in New York and now nationally
现在，纽约及全国范围内进行这项尝试的人
have really tried to continue this charge to encourage the food manufacturers to continue to sign onto this
仍然在继续设法鼓励制造商参与进来
I would say probably the biggest target that is still the most difficult to control is the restaurant industry
另外还有一大目标，不过这很难控制，也就是餐馆行业
And there's some hope that with increase labeling of restaurant foods
让餐馆食物多打标签也是有一定希望的
That we'll be able to make choices of what we eat in restaurants as well
这能让我们点餐时有所选择
but I think that's always a big challenge
不过这是很大挑战
