9.‘The Salty Six’
Be especially careful with these foods:
Pizza: One slice with lots of toppings can give you half your suggested daily amount of salt.
Bread and rolls: Even if there’s not a lot in one piece of bread or one roll, it can add up if you eat bread often.
Sandwiches: One fast-food sandwich or burger can give you your total daily amount of salt.
Cold cuts and cured meat: It takes about 6 thin slices to get half your recommended daily amount.
Canned soup: One cup can have half the salt you need for the day.
Burrito and taco fillings: These meats and cheeses can be loaded with salt.
10.What to Watch For: Sugars
Like salt, sugar is commonly added during processing. It’s used to make foods taste better or improve texture. It shows up in things you’d expect, like cereal and baked goods. But it can also be in things like pasta sauce. Almost 90% of added sugar in Americans’ diets comes from highly processed foods.
