Watch out for that sausage, it's very likely to have nitrite salts in it, as well as surprisingly high amounts of sodium and sugar.

- richardknop 9y agoIs salt unhealthy? I thought that is a myth too. I think salt is required part of healthy diet. In moderation of course. Sugar? Hmm I didn’t know there’s much sugar in sausages. I mostly eat family made sausages and I don’t think there’s much sugar.
- KozmoNau7 9y agoSalt isn't dangerous, as long as you get enough fluids, your kidneys are healthy and you don't overdo it. In other words yeah moderation is key, but sausages (and other cured meats) can have a surprising salt content. Sugar routinely gets added to a lot of foodstuffs you wouldn't expect it in. But if you're primarily eating home-made sausages, you're probably not going to have any issues, they're mostly in processed and ready-made foods.
