Escapee: Salt Abounds In Our Food

Escapee: It’s all about reading the labels and looking at the sodium content. Whether it’s pork and beans, chili, V-8 juice or even in that fake-seafood in the meat cooler, sodium is everywhere. The salt’s the thing that allows a can of, say, tomato paste to sit on the shelf for weeks before someone buys it. I don’t know if Salt Kills, but there’s probably more of it in the food you eat than you realize.

Question: Do you check the labels on cans on the grocery shelf? What are you looking for?
