You’re still eating too much salt. Where it’s hiding...


Most of us are getting way too much salt, without even touching the shaker...

The majority of salt we eat everyday is already in the food. Here are the most common culprits:

* Bread: A single slice has as much as 230 mg of sodium. Add some butter and the total is 330.

* Poultry: Salt is usually added during packaging to keep it fresh. Look for labels with “no added salt.”

* Cold cuts: A four ounce serving can contain the entire day’s allotment of sodium.

* Soup: Most soups, broths and bullions are loaded with salt.

* Pizza: It’s got salt in the crust, the cheese and the sauce. Add some pepperoni and it’s a sodium pie.

* Sandwiches: All the ingredients have salt, even the mustard and mayo.
