You must also remember that sodium is natural in foods. Even foods that you don't think of as being salty. Take celery, for instance. A 7 1/2 inch stalk has 35mgs of sodium and 1/2 cup of diced celery has 52 mgs.

I'll never forget Richard Simmons doing a salt demo on TV years ago. What struck me most was that 1/2 c of chocolate pudding had more salt than a serving of potato chips. Of course, we won't have to worry about that since we shouldn't be eating either!

Corrine Netzer's book of food counts lists sodium content of foods.
