Sodium in Processed Food

**Katiecooks** · 08-19-2011, 10:32 AM

Here are a couple that didn't appear to make the cut in the post above:

The first one is a photo of the family home of Anne Frank in Amsterdam -

the second is, of course, windmills! Aren't they impressive? Along the Zider Zee.

The bottommost photo is of the half-penny bridge in Dublin, by night. To this day you can cross this bridge for payment of a half-penny. Destined to be ever so, I suppose.

Good morning, CF - Evidently, I zigged when I should have zagged in trying to post a few additional photos for you and your "tour" so I'll try again and hope it works this time: The first photo is of Dublin Castle, the second of the Ha'penny Bridge in Dublin, by night. You can still, to this day, cross that bridge for a mere half-penny. A worthwhile trip!

Following these are a couple photos of Holland I thought you might like, as well.

I need to watch my salt intake so I always check the sodium amount on food labels when grocery shopping.

Go without any salt for about a month, then the substitutes are not that bad at all. It's not a switch you can make all at once.

I haven't touched a salt shaker since 1990 when I took a nutrition class in college. Still use ketchup but avoid foods with 30% ore more of RDA in a serving.

Lawry's Salt Free 17 Seasoning is a nice blend of spices with a similar taste to salt. It's quite popular. Use Liberally.

Didn't know Lawry's made anything Salt-Free. I use Mrs. Dash (mostly Extra Spicy) and Benson's, who has more different types then Mrs. Dash. Will check out Lawry's now. I will use a salt substitute now and then too but you can get too much of that (Potassium Chloride) if you're not careful. If a recipe calls for 1 tsp salt I would use 1/2 tsp sub.

Hi!
PM back your address and I can mail you some samples of Salt Free 17.

McCormick owns Lawry's now. They've kept the brand name, and over the last couple years have moved many of the McCormick spice blends to the Lawry's Brand in order to fill out the product line. While Salt Free 17 was always a Lawry's product, the latest move was all of McCormick Foodservice line of Salt Free Seasonings. They're all under the Lawry's name now. You can go to our online store and type salt free into the 'Quick Search' to see all of the salt free seasonings offered by McCormick in the Lawry's line. We still have a few labeled under McCormick. There's a direct link below.
