The cities health officials unanimously voted recently that all chain restaurants must add a warning label to menu items that contain more than the daily recommended amount of sodium. The rule requires that restaurants add a salt-shaker symbol next to food items containing more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium, which is the maximum daily amount advised by U.S. health officials.

By feeding apple peels to mice, they discovered that it reduced levels of the protein ATF4 in the body, a protein that's largely responsible for the breakdown of muscle tissue.
