Salty! Has over 40% of the daily max
Americans consume 4000 mg of sodium daily when the maximum recommended amount is 2300mg for healthy adults. Many people should not exceed 1500mg. Most of the sodium (65%) in our diet comes from processed foods, not home cooking or the salt shaker. Excess sodium intake increases blood pressure, causes hypertension and other heart problems. That’s why most of us need to cut back.

Very high in saturated fat
Not all fats are created equal. Saturated fats are the ones responsible for bad cholesterol buildup in our blood vessels, as well as contributing to coronary disease.

Contains MSG!

No whole grains here
Whole grains are a great source of fiber and other nutrients. Fiber is one of the most important nutrients lacking in the modern American diet. Unfortunately, this product does not contain enough whole grains, if any. If there is fiber in here, it's probably added fiber and not naturally occurring. Whole grains are not the only way to consuming fiber, BUT by choosing them instead of processed grains you've made a smart choice. If you'd like to eat a bit better, try for something that contains whole grains.

Choose healthy pasta - 5 quick tips
Want to choose healthy pasta? Here are 5 quick tips: 1. Choose whole grain pasta. One serving will have 3.5 grams of fiber while regular pasta has 2 grams. 2. Cook it al dente (firm) - the firmer the pasta, the lower the glycemic index. Low glycemic index means longer lasting energy and easier digestion. 3. If you're using store-bought sauce, add some extra veggies. Finely chopped broccoli, spinach leaves, shredded carrots, or cauliflower blend well in to any flavored sauce. Any frozen mix would do well too. 4. Add some nutrition with beans. Add them to your sauce. Use mung beans or add some texture with Cannellini (white beans) or kidney beans. Be sure they're cooked first though. 5. Cooking for gluten free folks? Try pasta made from rice or other grains. But don't forget to check for fiber in these too! Pasta should have fiber no matter what it's made of.
