If you have no issues with hypertension, etc. you will have no issues with sodium. Sodium was villified in the press, just like other things. It is always so easy to take one thing and blame all woes on it. This is the course they take, and if you follow things, you notice they are normally wrong. Unless you go out of your way to get more sodium, there is very little problem. Sodium will do wonders in the gym for your pump too. -------------- "If it ain't broke, you aren't trying."
