Today, we know that some of us just can't handle huge amounts of sodium. Salt is not sodium, but has a lot of sodium in it. We must watch out for high sodium salt brings to us in packaged, canned, frozen, commercially prepared baked goods, and in dairy products, all of which have added salt for longer shelf lives. Salt, is not necessary in baking of breads. It is a combination of yeast, sugar and in some cases citric or other acids that cause bread goods to rise. Some refer to other chemically produced products as salt, such as Potassium Chloride and Potassium Bicarbonate products. The reference to this ingredient as "potassium salt" is misleading. Potassium added to products such as Featherweight Baking Powder and Herb-Ox broth, does not raise level of sodium, but instead levels of potassium. See below for Potassium, and for Iodine news from Salt Skip program in Australia, click on Iodine.

A word about "blood sodium" when you see this on your blood chemistry forms. Blood Sodium does not indicate what we are ingesting or sodium we are concerned about unless we get too little or far too much. The kidneys keep blood sodium constant within narrow limits, and they do it by dumping all surplus sodium into urine. That is why a blood test tells you nothing about your sodium intake except that you are getting enough. A 24-hour urine collection may reveal that your sodium intake is excessive and that your kidneys are doing a lot of work to get rid of it. When kidneys want help they have ability to raise your blood pressure — sodium leaves faster when they do that.
