Remember - so-called 'slimming' foods are often high in salt! - You will not lose weight by eating foods high in salt, however low in fat they are!

Most sodium we eat is from salt (sodium chloride), but sodium is also present in MSG (monosodium glutamate), in baking powder, in bicarbonate of soda and in a few other compounds which are sometimes added to food.
