Abstrakt: The true low sodium content of beer is indicated. Analysis of 25 representative samples of beer reveals an average sodium content of 6.95 mg./100 Gm. This may be compared to drinking water containing 10 mg./100 cc. used in the “low salt” diet.The study of the urinary excretion of sodium in four patients while on a regular low sodium diet and while on a low sodium diet including beer indicates that more accurate salt restriction is obtained on the diet in which beer is included.The use of beer in some therapeutic situations is discussed.
