According to a new government report Americans are eating way to much sodium. Nine out of ten Americans consume a lot more sodium than they should. Too much sodium can raises risk for high blood pressure, leading to heart disease and stroke. More than 800,000 people die each year from these and other vascular diseases, says the CDC. I know, most people probably thinking that all the sodium overkill is coming from fast food, but actually that is not the food that has the most sodium. Salty snacks come in at number 10 on the list with
3.1 percent sodium. Next on the list is meat mixed dishes with 3.2 percent sodium. Pasta mixed dishes with 3.3 percent sodium is right after at number eight. We move on to cheese which takes a 0.5 leap up to 3.8 percent sodium. Sandwiches and soups are after because sandwiches has 4 percent sodium and soups have 4.3 percent sodium. Number four is poultry with 4.5 percent and Number three is pizza with 4.9 percent sodium. We are finally getting closer to the number one sodium packed food, but the number two food is cold cuts with 5.1 percent sodium. The time has come to find out the number one sodium food. The number one food is bread and rolls with an extreme percent of 7.4.
