Low-fat foods may mean high salt

Science - Health



Consumer Reports also stated that sodium appears in foods in other forms than just sodium chloride (table salt).

The food ingredients label might state these other forms of salt:

•    disodium guanylate

•    disodium inosinate

•    sodium caseinate

•    sodium benzoate

•    sodium bicarbonate

•    sodium nitrite.

Three ways to reduce salt intake is to (1) not shake salt onto foods, (2) prepare your own food and not to use prepackaged, highly processed foods, and (3) read the labels on all food packages before buying them.

Even though highly processed foods are convenient to prepare, there seems to be little about them that is healthy for consumers.

Most of the time they are filled with artifical ingredients, dyes, and now a high amount of salt.

It really is necessary to read all food labels before buying any food product.

Food manufacturers are not always looking after your health, even though they sometimes try to imply that with their labeling and advertising. Only you and your doctor are doing that.

Don't assume anything when it comes to the foods you eat. They may not be as healthy as you think!
