PRODUCT REVIEW - Better Than Bouillon - Sodium Watch

The photos speak for themselves:

680 mg of sodium in one teaspoon of this product. 1 tsp makes 1 cup or ...

See photos.  Recommended amount of sodium per day for an adult is 1500 - 2200 (max) per day.

The last photo shows the sodium.  Both chicken and beef have same amount of sodium so i didn't bother with another photo. Now think about it. If you make something for one meal for 2 (1 cup per person) you have over 1/2 of daily alloted sodium per day and that is just the broth. If you drink that and eat one other thing you have GOTTEN YOUR SODIUM FIX FOR THE DAY!! 

DANGERS OF SODIUM:

There are hundreds of web sites out there warning of sodium dangers.  This is just one above. 

Product Review - Soy sauce - your enemy!!

  

  

While researching a recipe I found on-line I found the following: (I knew the search would be bad but it was worse than I expected)

• Regular soy sauce runs from 1100 mg. of sodium per TBSN and UP!  If you use a cup in a recipe for 4 that computes to 17600 mg. of sodium divided by 4 servings equals 4400 mg of sodium per serving!!!!!!!!!!! 
• Recommended DAILY dosage of sodium recommended by CDC:  500 to keep your body running correctly, 1500 recommended and 2300 max. 
• CDC recommendation  (Be sure you scroll to the bottom of the page and read the links as to what sodium can do to your body!)
• Conclusion is that the recipe I was researching has 3 x (yes three times) amount of recommended daily dose and about 2 x max sodium per day!!  (If you are losing the low amount of the full sodium soy sauce - 1100 mg. per tablespoon)
• Next I research low sodium varieties of soy sauce.  I found 8 on a page - SEE LINK 
• LOW SODIUM SOY SEARCH ON GOOGLE
• The summary of the eight I clicked on ran under 700 which is more than half of 1100 mg. of sodium. Some numbers I ran into were 680/70/40% (40% lower but no claim on what the original number was)/575/and some of the products didn't even post the MG OF SODIUM!! Doesn't that tell you something? 
• CAUTION: WHEN BUYING SOY SAUCE IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU READ THE SODIUM PER TBSN ON THE BOTTLE.
