Is it Salt or is it Sodium: Are You Confused?
Mar 7, 2012 | Serena Smith-Williams

Salt and sodium have been used interchangeably by so many people, however, they are not the same thing. Discover the differences to make healthy choices.

You try to follow a healthy diet or a doctor's advice to "eat a low-sodium diet" or "watch your salt intake". But then you get to the grocery store and find yourself staring at the word "sodium" in the nutrition label, but see the word "salt" in the ingredients listing. You then wonder to yourself which one are you supposed to pay attention to. It shouldn't be this hard and why is this so confusing?

Understanding the terms salt and sodium

Salt (or table salt), for those that remember high school chemistry, is also known as sodium chloride. So, in essence, sodium can be found in salt. There are, however, some salts that either don't have sodium or don't contain the same amount of sodium as table salt. Salt is mostly measured in teaspoons while sodium is mostly measured in milligrams (mg).

For example:
* 1/4 teaspoon salt = 600 mg sodium
* 1/2 teaspoon salt = 1,200 mg sodium
* 3/4 teaspoon salt = 1,800 mg sodium
* 1 teaspoon salt = 2,300 mg sodium

Most people know that low-sodium or no sodium diets are healthier. And even though sodium is an essential nutrient, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommends no more than 1,500 mg of sodium per day to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

What items are best to avoid?

Unfortunately, sodium can be found in anything from medications to processed food so it can be extremely challenging to completely avoid it. Most natural foods contain sodium, but much more is added during the processing stage. According to the AHA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), up to 75% of sodium intake comes from processed foods.

Reading the ingredients label will give you a clue as to whether the item contains sodium. For instance, "soda" refers to sodium bicarbonate or baking soda. One teaspoon of baking soda equals 1,000 mg of sodium. That's almost your full day's recommendation! In general, just watching out for the word "sodium" will alert you, such as ingredients like sodium nitrate, sodium citrate, monosodium glutamate (also known as MSG), and sodium benzoate.
