I had no idea it had that much SALT in it.

Did you know McDonalds Caesar salad has twice the salt if a large fries? (890 vs 350)
-You easily consume an entire day's worth of sodium in a single restaurant meal.
-daily intake is just 1 teaspoon of salt (2300 mg)
-Aunt Jemima pancake mix: each pancake has 200mg
-raisin bran: 350mg per cup
-jello pudding 420 my per serving if chocolate flavor
-when fat is taken out if a recipe, manufacturers often add more salt to compensate.
All these facts are taken directly from the article: http://www.consumerreports.org/health/healthy-living/diet-nutrition/diets-dieting/sodium-in-food/overview/sodium-in-food-ov.htm
