Kaplan* Introduction Sodium is a mineral element necessary (or proper body func- tion. It is involved in maintaining blood volume and cellular osmotic pressure and in transmitting nerve impulses. Body needs for sodium are not great. Intakes of 1,100 to 3,300 milligrams of sodium per day are considered safe and adequate for the healthy adult by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences— National Research Council. Most dietary sodium is found in the form of sodium chloride, the compound we know as table salt, which is 40 percent sodium and 60 percent chloride. One teaspoon of salt con- tains approximately 2,000 milli- grams of sodium. Current estimates of daily sodium intake by individ- uals are between 2,300 to 6,900 milligrams (about 1 to 3 teaspoons or 6 to 17 grams of salt). Many Americans consume more sodium than they need. "Nutrition and Your Health— Dietary Guide- lines for Americans," published jointly by the Departments of Agri- culture and Health, Education, and Welfare in February 1980, suggests that people should "avoid [eating] too much sodium." Excess sodium in the diet is believed to contribute to high blood pressure or hypertension in some *Marsh is a Nutrition Analyst with the Consumer Nutrition Center, SEA, USDA; Klippstein is Professor, Division of Nutri- tional Sciences, Cornell University; and Kaplan is a Cooperative Extension Specialist, University of Rhode Island, Kingston. people. Control of body weight and restriction of sodium intake from foods, drinks, and drugs are among treatments prescribed by physicians to control high blood pressure. This publication provides a table showing the sodium content of common foods (table 1), to help you figure out how much sodium is in your diet. Table 2 lists the sodium content of selected non- prescription drugs. In addition to the salt we know- ingly sprinkle on our food, many foods contain sodium as a part of their normal chemical composition. Household staples like baking powder and baking soda are sodium compounds. Some popular flavoring agents high in sodium are soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, catsup, pickles, olives, and garlic, onion, and celery salts. Many processed foods contain added sodium. Salted or brined meats and fish are obviously higher in salt content than the uncured forms. Many canned vegetables are packed in a salt solution or brine. Frozen vegetables are usually processed without added salt. How- ever, starchy vegetables like lima beans and peas are frequently sorted in brine before freezing. Frozen vegetables with added sauces, mushrooms, or nuts are higher in sodium than the plain varieties. Canned and frozen fruits are not usually processed with added salt, but some companies add small amounts of salt to prevent darken- ing of some fruits and to enhance flavor of applesauce. Some canned and frozen fruits, and most canned whole tomatoes, are dipped in sodium hydroxide so that they can be easily peeled. This process causes these foods to have higher sodium levels than are found in the fresh foods. Canned and bottled citrus drinks are sometimes buffered W\th sodium citrate. Sodium ion exchange is used in processing some wines to reduce sedimetpt and clarify the product. Chemical ingredients which con- tain sodium may be added during food processing. Some examples of these ingredients are monosodium glutamate or MSG (a flavor enhancer); sodium saccharin (a sweetener); sodium phosphates (emulsifiers, stabilizers, buffers); sodium citrate (a buffer); sodium ca- seinate (a thickener and binder); and sodium benzoate and sodium nitrite (preservatives). It is especially important for per- sons on salt-restricted diets to read ingredient labels carefully to see which, if any, sodium compounds have been included in processed foods. Those items listed first on the label are present in the largest amounts. Nutritional information on labels of some foods, such as break- fast cereals, shows sodium values. To allow for variability among pack- ages, cereal manufacturers may show higher values on packages of cereal than those shown in the table. Some over-the-counter drugs, par- ticularly antacids, contain sodium in significant amounts. Read labels carefully and ask your physician about using such drugs. Refer to table 2 for a list of selected non- prescription drugs and the amount of sodium each contains. Many patients with high blood pressure take diuretics and are ad- vised to increase their potassium in- take to replenish that lost in the increased urine volume. Bananas and orange juice are frequently recommended for their potassium content. Most fresh vegetables, fruits, legumes, and uncured meats are also good sources of potassium and add only small amounts of sodium to the diet. If you are think- ing of using a potassium substitute for common salt, you should con- sult your physician before doing so. Another source of sodium is drinking water. The sodium content of drinking water varies consider- ably throughout the country. This variation also affects the sodium content of soft drinks and beer pro- duced and bottled at different loca- tions. Water softeners raise the sodium content of water— the harder the water, the greater amount of sodium needed to soften it. In most States, the State department of public health can supply informa- tion on the sodium content of public water supplies and provide help in getting water from indi- vidual wells or water supplies analyzed. This bulletin updates sodium values listed in "Composition of Foods," Agriculture Handbook No. 8 (1963), and includes values for additional food items. The values were obtained from published reports of laboratory analyses that used flame photometry, atomic absorption, or emission spectro- scopy to find the sodium content of foods. These reports include data from industrial, scientific, and tech- nical literature. Because some products vary con- siderably in sodium content, table 1 gives representative values. Sodium values shown reflect current proc- essing practices and typical product formulas. If these practices and for- mulas are changed, sodium values may change also. Values given in table 1 are for un- salted products, unless specified. Cooked items have been prepared using unsalted water, even though the manufacturers' instructions may call for salt. Canned vegetable values are for total can contents of solids and liquids. The values reported are for common house- hold measures of the foods and in- clude metric equivalents. Some labels may express sodium content in grams or milligrams. Here's how to convert these measurements and also how to measure the amount of sodium in salt. Salt and sodium conversions Grams to milligrams Multiply weight in grams by 1,000 Sodium into salt (NaCi) equivalent Milligrams of sodium content H- .40 = milligrams of salt Salt into sodium Milligrams of salt x .40 = milli- grams of sodium Sodium in milligrams to sodium in miliiequivalents^ Milligrams of sodium ^23 (atomic weight of sodium) = milli- equivalents of sodium Milliequivalents of sodium to milligrams of sodium Milliequivalents of sodium x23 = milligrams of sodium ^Medical prescriptions are often given as milliequivalents (mEq).
