Quiz: Salt in Popular Foods

Salty Quiz: How Much Is in Popular Foods?

March 15, 2008

We all know that eating foods high in salt isn't good for us, especially if you have high blood pressure. The RDI of salt is 2,300 mg a day, which is equal to about one teaspoon of salt. It's hard to know exactly how much sodium is in the foods we eat though, so take this quiz to find out.

Ugh, I did terrible on that one! I had no idea that ketchup had THAT much sodium in it. I knew it had quite a bit, but I didn't think it was that bad! I also knew canned soups all had quite a bit, so I think the first question was kind of dumb; I mean, both soups have close to 1000 mg of sodium, so shouldn't you avoid both of them?
