Abstract
Most people in the United States consume much higher amounts of sodium than they should. Average daily sodium consumption during 2007–2008 was 3,266 mg among persons 2 years and older, well above the current Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommendations of less than 2,300 mg a day. Some high risk individuals should consume only 1,500 mg a day; about half of the popular on are part of this group, which includes individuals who are 51 years and older and those of any age, including children, who are African American or have high blood pressure, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease.
