Cheese and Sodium

Cheese is full of saturated fat, but there are choices that offer less fat with robust taste. Consider using part-skim mozzarella, feta and other low fat cheeses in lieu of full fat. There are specifically low fat Jarlsberg, low fat Swiss, low fat cheddar, and even light Bleu cheese. Cheeses can also harbor a fair amount of sodium.

Sodium is on the minds of manufacturers with 16 companies including Heinz and Kraft pledging to reduce the sodium in a number of products over the next 5 years. Look for sodium free Heinz ketchup which is already out on the supermarket shelves!!
