Organic canned soup While these are generally better than traditional, non-organic canned soup, they can still be packed with sodium. For example, Amy's Organic Chunky Vegetable Soup has 680 mg of sodium, more than half your recommended daily allowance. Giancoli says to look for canned soups with less than 400 mg per serving (and to watch out because many cans actually have two servings). Then you can add herbs like oregano, thyme, and basil to boost the flavor without the salt.

My philosophy is, eat all things in moderation . Because some ingredients say all-natural, some people think they are suppose to overdo it, and thats not the case. Whether its white bread or whole wheat, you cant overdo it.

I have celiac disease/ gluten intolerance so I find that it is more difficult to eat healthy. While most foods that fall into the "carbohydrates" contain gluten, you'd think you'd be eating healthier, but no. I find that it's easier to buy the gluten free crackers or cereal or snacks compared to let's say... making a salad. Good article. Great tips!
