The amount of sodium (not salt as the chloride is stripped off) that is added is very minimal - much less than other sources in a typical diet. The rule of thumb is about the amount you find in a piece of bread. If even that amount is too much, use potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride as a regenerate.
