Description
Whether from a doctor or food marketing labels, you've probably heard that lower sodium is better for you. We have been told to limit our consumption of sodium to 2,300mg per day (or 1 teaspoon of table salt). But as with many nutritional recommendations, there's more to it than meets the eye!
