Harmful amount of salt lurks in bagels, cereal

WASHINGTON -- Harmful amounts of sodium can be found in unsalty foods such as breakfast cereal and bagels, according to Consumer Reports magazine.

U.S. dietary guidelines recommend that healthy adults get no more than 2,300 mg of sodium a day and to control high blood pressure people should aim for 1,500 mg or less. Most Americans get far more than that, and mostly not in salt sprinkled on food but instead in prepared products.
