Is the sodium in processed foods the same as salt?

Sodium is half of what makes up salt, chloride being the other half. Almost all of the sodium we get comes from salt. US Food and Drug Administration recommends that we ingest no more than 2300 milligrams of sodium a day. You do not have to salt any food to get enough salt. There is more than enough already in the food we eat. By the by sea salt is no better for you than regular table salt.
