Sandwiches Account for One-Fifth of Total Sodium Intake

On any given day, 49% of US adults eat at least 1 sandwich, and sandwiches account for one-fifth of total daily sodium intake, according to research from the Department of Agriculture. Compared to individuals who did not report consuming a sandwich on the intake day, sandwich reporters had significantly higher energy and sodium intakes. The findings come from 1 day of dietary intake data from 5762 adults in What We Eat in America, the dietary interview component of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009–2010. The results are published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
