Anything processed. The more processed, the more salt.
In my fridge, I have a store-bought ham sandwich that has 1,320 mg of sodium. I cope with that by cutting it into thirds and spreading the salt over three days. But most people don't eat sandwiches that way; most who bought that sandwich probably ate the whole thing.
Alongside the ham sandwich, the potato salad has 450 mg per 1/2-cup serving. Half a cup ain't much, and I'll bet most people eat more than that each time. Specifying a small "serving size" is one trick food manufacturers use to downplay the toxicity of their products.
There's a minimum of 1,770 milligrams of sodium right there in one meal.
I started studying the toxicity reportnutrition label on foods like a hawk after my heart exploded. My impression is that it's as if we're swimming in a salty ocean and absorbing sodium through every pore and orifice. The last thing anybody needs is to be told to consume more salt. That's insane.

- I suppose its possible previous medical advice was based on error.
