Winner: Jeanie’s Soup Salt Comment

JeanieSpokane: I am very sorry to see Campbell’s adding salt back in to their products. I look at all the ingredients of every pre-packaged product that I bring home. I don’t care what the studies say - Americans consume way too much sodium and protein (both are hard on your kidneys in over-large amounts and will stress the kidneys of even the most healthy). My kidneys ARE messed up. However, when I was a young adult, I was unaware of my familial kidney disease. Truth be told, had I watched my sodium & protein intake, I would have prolonged the inevitable dialysis treatment for possibly another 20 years. If I had done that, I probably wouldn’t have lost my job because I would have been at my job instead of taking time off for dialysis. (I’m living because of dialysis, and living very healthy.) But had I watched those two evil twins then -- I wouldn’t be on dialysis today. Campbell’s - my message to you -- Keep the salt out and let the consumer add it in.
