Description
AMERICANS CAN'T SEEM to shake the salt habit. But that's not always because they're going heavy on the shaker. As Americans have increasingly turned to processed convenience foods and restaurant meals, our tolerance and desire for salt has risen. People know what it means for a meal to have 500 calories and 20 grams of fat, but they're not as sure what it means for a frozen meal to have 700 mg of sodium. Here is what you need to know to keep it all in balance.

But salt and dozens of compounds containing sodium, the element in salt linked to hypertension, have become omnipresent in processed foods from one end of the grocery store to the other.
