Do you know how much sodium you have a day? A new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) finds two-thirds of Americans should limit the salt in their diet, but very few of them do. Dietary guidelines recommend most adults have a maximum of 2,300 mg of sodium per day. But you should have no more than 1,500 mg a day if you are African American, have high blood pressure, or if you’re age 40 or older.

Maybe I’ll win some salt for commenting here, unlike the beaucoup commenters on the free giveaway site
I’ve been careful with salt for ages! It’s actually quite bitter.
A salt giveaway would definitely get comments, don’t you think?
I don’t like salt – I think I’m just lucky that way. I pluck it off pretzels, and never add it to anything. Just not a fan. I guess it makes up for my love of sweets.
