What effect does canning fruits and vegetables have on their potassium content?
Whether a food is cooked or put in a can it loses potassium. Manufacturers add sodium to canned foods for flavor or as a preservative, when we eat these foods; we deplete our potassium stores to handle the excess sodium. Many researchers feel that the resulting sodium-potassium imbalance is one reason why the U.S, incidence of hypertension (high blood pressure) keeps climbing. What are your thoughts on Mt.
