What do you mean by that? If you're talking about salt, then that's sodium chloride, not sodium. Can't you just say reducing salt?

- nomocrypto 8y agoReferring to salt as sodium is a commonly understood shorthand in the US. If you look at nutrition facts, you’ll see they don’t say “salt”, they say “sodium”. And technically, there are lots of different salts, so I’d argue that sodium is much more specific (from a pedantic point of view).
- ceejayoz 8y agoSodium is what has a RDV and a listing in products' nutrition facts, so it makes the most sense to discuss it in that fashion. You can also get some of it from things like baking soda - salt isn't the sole dietary source.
