I just read this great article in my Cooking Light magazine, all about salt! While I have this really bad habit of focusing on the negative, I have lately (okay, for like 3 days..) been trying to focus on things I've done RIGHT! And one of those things is that for 6 weeks now I have totally laid off the extra salt--haven't added any to my food! A big deal for me, a gal who was always pretty liberal with the salt shaker.
This article de-bunked some salt myths and talked a bit about the pros and cons of added salt--check it out if you want! One of the things I found most interesting was the part about whether rinsing canned beans helped lower sodium levels or not. The answer? YES! In fact, the beans they tested lost 40% of their sodium when rinsed. WHOA. Never not rinsing again!!
