YSK chicken sold in supermarkets are often "plumped" with a salt water solution that increases sell weight by up to 30%. A serving can contain up to 500mg of sodium, or 7-10 times what is natural.

Why YSK: consuming too much sodium can lead to high blood pressure, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. In my country (USA), the average daily sodium intake is over 3,300mg, exceeding the recommended maximum of 2,300mg. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends an even lower maximum of 2,000mg.

Also: with the rising cost of food, being mindful of additives that increase sell weight is important.
