A very interesting article on Sodium content of packaged foods appeared in American Journal of clinical nutrition.

It is said that higher salt intake was associated with High B.P

  Meat dishes and canned soups had highest  amounts of sodium.

The recommended daily intake of sodium is 2500 mg and in African Americans with B.P and kidney disease is even lesser like 1500 mg.

Salad dressings,pasta dressings and pasta dishes had very high sodium.
