[Sodium intake including salt as its source in selected Warsaw population].
The aim of study was to evaluate sodium intake by 21 women and 21 men, aged 20-31, living in Warsaw, including sodium from table salt. The study was conducted from November 2004 to March 2005. The mean sodium intake exceeded many times the recommendations. Men added more salt to meals then women, and they also ate salty products more often. The main source of sodium was salt added during preparation of meals (women) or processed food (men). The amount of sodium from products salted due to technological reasons and present naturally in foods is high enough to meet requirements for this nutrient.
