Beware of Sodium in Canned Soups!

Posted April 6th, 2009 by admin

 

Quick Tip: Half a can of many soups have about ½ the amount of sodium that you should consume in an entire day! Some of the soups with the highest amount of sodium per serving include Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom, French Onion, Chicken Noodle, Vegetable, and Cream of Chicken, Knorr French Onion Mix, and Progresso Minestrone and New England Clam Chowder. Better choices that have low amounts of sodium include Healthy Choice Soups, and Campbell’s Healthy Request line. When selecting soups, pick ones that have no more than 300 mg of sodium per one cup (8 oz) serving

Thanks so much for the post about Sodium and the info on soups.
I think we all have heard about the dangers of salt and how it harms the body, just wondering though does are body need a certain amount of salt ? Or should we stay away from it all together ?
