A reasonable, albeit minimal especially compared to what we find in many processed foods, amount of salt is necessary in cooking many foods.The people that don't understand what this is supposed to do are freaking out over the salt used for baking bread. A minimal amount is needed, and regulation is needed there . Salt is necessary in many foods, but the *levels*used in some processed foods is extreme. I have a reduced salt can of cream of chicken soup. At 410mg of salt, it has one quarter of what anyone needs in a day (excepting those who must eliminate salt entirely). It's plenty salty. It's scary to think what the "regular" soup has for added salt. Fact is, I have a difficult time finding lower salt versions of many foods. Fact is, you won't notice what they are going to do anyway. |
