Food Labels • Sodium Free <5 mg/serving • Very Low <35 mg/serving • Low Sodium <140 mg/serving • Reduced Sodium – Usual sodium level is reduced by 25% • “healthy” <480 mg/serving • “meal type” <600 mg/serving
Sea Salt • Grains obtained from the natural evaporation of seawater • Undergoes little or no refining technique which allows it to retain natural traces of other minerals • Contains same amount of sodium as table salt
Sodium health links • High blood pressure • Heart Disease • Stroke
