Chicken

You might have thought you were making a wise choice to eat boneless, skinless chicken breast for dinner tonight, but that depends on the source. The act of plumping, which is quite common in poultry production, involves injecting the meat with salt and other additives to enhance the taste. This could add another 400 or so milligrams of sodium to your day from an unlikely source. Always opt for non-enhanced chicken where possible.
