Don't Eat What You See on TV

Welcome to another Mid-Week Rant

What set me off on this weeks Rant was an article in the Sunday Times about salt content in Cornflakes .
One ounce of cornflakes contains more than 200 milligrams of sodium, even before you add milk.Crisps vary from manufacturer to manufacture , but generally they contain between 120 and 180 milligrams of sodium per ounce.Most of the high blood pressure generating sodium in our diet is hidden in processed foods we never think of as salty. Soups are especially loaded with sodium.

Don't think your getting a better product because your buying a brand named processed food, the bigger own brand foods have even higher levels of salt than the own cheaper super market in house stuff.

I think the greatest bit of advise I've seen around .
