Soda versus Soup


Today I requested at our local "go to the store" day that low sodium tomato soup be picked up. I then got this comment:

"You talk about low sodium soup yet a bottle of soda you drink has more sodium than one of those soup cans".

Uhuh. For someone that should be at the forefront of "being healthy", is that statement backed up by empirical data? We will see.

24oz bottle (and I drink cans, by the way) =80mg sodium
1 microwaveable can of regular Campbells tomato = 960mg of sodium

I rest my case. Somebody forgot to check their facts.
