Everything has a shit load of sodium in it, If you have too much you can get sore joints as well as bloat. Its not good for your blood pressure either.

Thats a ton of sodium to have in a meal but there are much worse things that chili to be eating.

I know everything you look at has too much sodium. Especially anything already prepared. Isn't it the preservatives?

yeah the problem is that every preservative uses sodium as a counter ion, as well as the fact that it is used as such in many flavor enhancers as well.

I wouldn't fret too much. When on or off bulking/cutting cycles, I would always cycle GHB. The counter ion for that as well is sodium. I was consuming approximately 2grams of sodium right there alone not even counting my meals.

I think really as long as you arent chronically consuming excessive quantities of sodium you should be alright. For the acute consumption, just be sure to drink LOTS of water.
