The Globe and Mail is running a series on hidden salt and the problems of trying to cut sodium in your diet--oh, like we hadn't noticed that it's really hard? Of course it's not as simple as "Don't add salt to the vegetables." Here's their article "Salt: Hard to Shake."
Thankfully, Mr. Fixit's current diet recommendations are just to "take it easy on salt"--meaning, watch out for things like convenience foods, soy sauce, the real bad stuff. He is still trying to be careful by comparing labels. and choosing the frozen fries that are lowest in sodium (the generic ones, oddly enough), Shredded Wheat over higher-sodium cereals, and so on. But that is not nearly so hard as the 1500 mg per day as he was trying to do six months ago.
Anyway, here are the Globe and Mail Sodium Diaries--someone "taking the challenge." Here's a video--yes, the first bit is a commercial for accountants. Here's a quiz to take. And here's a "salt-o-meter" you can play with.
