Watch out for hidden salt

If you think ditching your salt shaker will lower your sodium intake significantly, you're wrong.
About 12% of our salt intake is from the shaker. The rest is hidden in our food. We all know about crackers and chips but what about canned,boxed and frozen foods? Sauces and gravies, bread mixes and sodas?
Even if they are lowfat and/or low cal they may be loaded with sodium.
If you're watching your sodium, don't take anything for granted.
Check those labels for hidden salt.
