Myth

The best way to limit your sodium intake is to stop using the salt shaker.

Fact

Canadians eat too much sodium, but the salt shaker is not the biggest culprit. Over 75 percent of the sodium we eat comes from processed foods, packaged and ready-to-eat foods. To limit the sodium you eat, choose fewer pre-packaged convenience foods and enjoy more lower sodium foods that you can cook at home.
