Convert Salt tsps to Sodium mg easily
Salt (NaCl) is not excactly sodium (Na).
It is not right to use these terms as synonyms.
The FDA recommended limit of sodium is 2,300 mg per day (or even less - about 1500 mg while one is on low sodium diets).
This is much less than the weight of salt.
(5,750 mg per day or 3,750 mg for low sodium diet) and not so convenient to calculate.
Know how much sodium is in your salt - without a calculator:
1/4 tsp salt = 600 mg sodium
1/2 tsp salt = 1200 mg sodium
3/4 tsp salt = 1800 mg sodium
1 tsp salt = 2300 mg sodium -
2 tsp of sugars per serving
This volume includes both naturally occurring from ingredients and specially added sugars.
USDA tells us that last years each American consumed an average 130 pounds of caloric sweeteners per year!
That works out to 30 tsp of sugars per day approximately 480 extra calories!
Just to think: Eating just 200 more calories daily than your body requires for body functioning and exercise leads to a 20-pound weight gain in a year. -

Frozen veggies - healthier than fresh?
Generally speaking, frozen veggies have the same amount of nutrients as fresh veggies, and sometimes they have even MORE. This is because frozen veggies are picked at their peak. They are then immediately blanched and frozen. Thus most of their vitamins and minerals are well preserved. In contrast, fresh veggies may have already been sitting on the supermarket shelf for a while before going onto your plate. They also may not have been picked when ripe. In any case: fresh or frozen, eat veggies to your heart's content. They are filled with vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Any veggie that makes it onto your plate is a good veggie!

Organic? No need for the "Clean 15"

Here's the list: Asparagus, Avocados, Bananas, Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Corn, Eggplant, Garlic, Kiwi, Mangoes, Onions, Papaya, Pineapple, Peas, Sweet Potatoes, Tomatoes, Watermelon

Calcium chloride and waste reduction...
Calcium chloride is thought of as OK for your health, though some advise that it could cause slight stomach irritation. When used as an additive in products like jellies or cheeses, it causes the food to firm up. When used in tomato-based products it prevents disintegration. It also adds a tiny bit of saltiness without adding sodium. This additive is a by-product of The Solvay process. In this process, carbon dioxide is mixed with table salt and ammonia to create soda ash (or potash) and other products, like baking soda. One of the problems is that this process produces waste - a lot of waste. As a result of this and other technological advances, the last Solvay plant in the US closed in 1986. But the process continues in other parts of the world. While more and more calcium chloride is removed from the waste in settling ponds or dumped directly into the sea, the issue of what to do with this by-product is still relevant. By using calcium chloride as a food additive, manufacturers are actually reducing the amount of waste that is put back into the environment. Whether this is a "reuse" effort you want to be a part of is up to you . . .
