Checking food labels for salt, saturated fat, and other nutrients you may want to limit or avoid is often difficult. This is because these substances are found in a variety of ingredients used in processed foods.
If you want to avoid salt... then watch out for:
Any substance that contains the word sodium, such as monosodium glutamate (MSG) and calcium disodium phosphate; hydrolized vegetable solids; brine; EDTA; whey; cheeses (natural and processed); soy protein isolate; frozen eggs; dried buttermilk powder.
If you want to avoid sugar... then watch out for:
Sucrose, molasses, glucose, dextrose, corn syrup, honey, fructose, levulose, fruit sugar, maltose, maltodextrin, sorghum, lactose, grain sorghum syrup.
If you want to avoid saturated fat... then watch out for:
Coconut oil, palm oil, palm kernel oil, some hydrogenated oils, vegetable shortening, tallow, lard, beef fat, bacon fat, salt pork, butterfat, milk fat, cream cheese, whole eggs, egg yolks.

What can we say? We have no choice but to use iodized salt and olive oil. I think fructose and fruit sugar are the same. Sugar cane and sugar beets are sucrose. Aspartame is not good for our brain. Cyclamates are banned by the Food and Drug Administration. I think moderate use of the above is the key to a healthy mind and body plus correct exercise.

They many have the essential properties of vitamins, but our body needs sugar and salt. We just have to regulate the intake.
