For anyone who has high blood pressure or just a feeling of being bloated/swollen ankles as the day goes on, it is a good idea to really watch the sodium count. (There's a lot more in ordinary things, more than most folks realise.) My docs recommend I do no more than 1000 mg per day which isn't much, so I *spend* those mgs very carefully. Unfortunately that means I don't get to eat as much cheese as I would like. On the other hand, it's probably better for me because it forces me to eat less processed food, in fact I have hardly any because of it, which is good or so they tell me.:-)
