oh good, I'm glad. That will be a great help. I've been looking at sodium content a lot in the past few days because of your posts and I am shocked at how crazy high the sodium levels are in SO much food.

There isn't a specific 'low/no sodium' section - you just have to get really good about reading labels. And yu'll probably have to give up a lot of pre-prepared foods b/c those inevitably are pretty high in sodium.

you may want to try this:


Salt Free Taco Seasoning

Salt-Free alternative to the envelope mix. good for seasoning taco meat, burrito meat, meat loaf. Also good sprinkled over cottage cheese, or mixed into sour cream for a dip. Add according to taste preference.


6 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon white pepper


1. Put all ingredients in a labeled (Salt-free-taco) sandwich size zip lock plastic bag.
2. Seal and shake.
3. Shake before using.


Unfortunately - salt is in everything processed - that is how the foods get their flavors. You may need to switch to homemade cooking. Frozen and fresh veggies are better than canned. Same with fruits.
