I don't understand. AAA=>AAB but AAZ=>ABA. How do you decide which letters to increment? You said increment the second letters, so I take it you mean all but the first one? Shouldn't it be AAA=>ABB if you increment all but the first letter by one? â Raoul Duke Aug 25 '10 at 15:01
We're safe with sodium . But Alderman holds a very different view, contending that the amount of sodium Americans are getting each day isn't dangerous. Rather, he thinks the amount of sodium that should be considered too much is much higher: 5,000 mg. In addition, Alderman said there is a range of sodium intake that should be considered safe: from 2,500 mg to 5,000 mg. With a daily intake of lower than 2,500 mg of sodium, cardiovascular risk goes up, he argued.
However, many packaged and fast foods are high in sodium as well as calories and may contribute to weight gain, while many -- but not all -- low-sodium items are less fattening. Healthy adults should limit sodium intake to 2,300 milligrams per day, but the average American consumes 3,300 daily milligrams. Most of that sodium comes from processed and restaurant-prepared foods, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
