WHAT DOES THAT FOOD LABEL MEAN?

"Low-sodium"


Translation:  Contains 140 mg or less per serving.


Important to know:  Too much salt can lead to high blood pressure and stroke.  Most adults should consume less than 2,300 mg of sodium per day, but Americans average 3,000 to 5,000 mg daily.


Buyer beware:  Bread products and other grain-based foods, including some breakfast cereals, are hidden sources of sodium.  Some breads have two to three times the salt as in a typical serving of potato chips.  Choose foods with fewer milligrams of sodium than calories.
