I'm teaching a class tomorrow and I was doing my my prep work. And we know that a teaspoon of salt we're gonna do Roundup Mass here a teaspoon of salt has 2,000 milligrams of sodium. We know now that the World Health Organization is recommending that people eat no more than 1500 milligrams of sodium per day. If you use Chinese takeout, and you have one packet that teaspoon. Has 750 milligrams of sodium in it. So my point is a teaspoon of salt has 2,000 milligrams and a teaspoon of soy sauce has 700 or 750 milligrams. So try using a soy sauce. I would suggest to use a light soy the Tamaris are now coming out in 25% less sodium 50% less sodium. I often tell people just dilute it with water and You know. A couple of months ago my husband and I went out for dinner and I ordered my favorite vegetable which is brussels sprouts and when they came to the table I said to him. Oh my gosh, these things are so salty and he said well, maybe it's because you don't use salt and I said not I'm gonna send them back and the food server who was very kind said, okay, I'll take them back and then the chef came out he was like, whoa, I don't know what happened to those brussels sprouts, but there was a lot of salt in those so salt is an acquired taste cut back each day and you'll certainly enjoy the real true flavor of vegetables and such and remember that a tablespoon of nutritional yeast does contain 80 milligrams of sodium. So you are getting sodium in many many different ways and staying away from processed foods is one way but always reading the label is the best just have to break up with the salt, but it's always a good question. I never tire from answering it. So thank you for that.
