A Good Time To Eat
Americans are Unaware and Unconcerned with Sodium Intake
Do you know how much salt you consume?
SFGate reports, according to a study conducted by the 2011 International Food Information Council Sodium Survey, 59 percent of Americans don’t care about the amount of sodium they take in. 70 percent of Americans don’t know how much sodium they need daily.
Now I need to confess that I am in the majority of people who definitely don’t know how much sodium I take in or how much I need a day, but it’s good to know there are studies like this to inform us.
