Fast facts about salt
The body needs salt, but too much or too little can cause problems.
Sodium makes up 40 percent of salt. If a food label lists sodium instead of salt, multiply the answer by 2.5 for an accurate picture of the salt content.
Most Americans take in too much salt, and 75 percent of it is hidden in processed and packaged food.
The American Heart Association (AHA) recommend a maximum intake of no more than 2.3 grams (g) or 2,300 milligrams (mg) of sodium a day, or around 1 teaspoon, and preferably no more than 1,500 mg.
