    I would also say that the very fact that there is a high sodium content in many of their menu items is another logical reason why Subway should be avoided.

    Sorry if I repeated the person above me thoughts on this subject.

    However, the fact that there is way too much sodium in the American food supply can never be said enough...
    proper hydration and functioning kidneys will prevent problems with sodium.

    Chemicals aside, the smell that wafts from the door of every Subway I've ever walked past is enough to make me avoid them! :sick:

    I'm glad that's not just me! I'm not anti any kind of fast food or worried about food scares but the smell of subway makes me heave

    It smells like vomit! I can't even walk in without wanting to hurl!

    I like Subway.

    anyone looking at my diary will see I eat it about once a fortnight.

    Lucky I am in Australia and there is no azowhatsit in the bread here. :smile:

    I was saddened and sickened to hear this. Although they have now said they will remove the chemical I still think it is a good idea for us in North America to sign this petition and write Subway. I just did.

    ETA: I should ad that this chemical is USDA approved and a lot of food companies use this and other "approved" chemicals. But that does not mean they should use it! The good news is that Subway has agreed to stop using it but it cannot be fast enough if you ask me so I still signed the petition but really we should all be going after the FDA!!

    As long as you're taking in normal amounts. Processed food is usually LOADED with sodium, often at levels 2-3 times what the body requires in a day.

    Hmmmmmmmmmm..........................I love the smell of baking bread, always have.
    Sodium is not bad if you eat get a veggie with no cheese and red wine vinegar.
    I like subway, and will continue to eat there in spite of this hype.
    Are you 100% sure of everything that you are ingesting? Good for you if you really are!

    I count sodium and potassium in my diary and eat processed foods every day. In spite of eating processed foods, I am consistently below the RDA for sodium and over the RDA for potassium.

    Your argument is invalid.

    Oh yeah... and sometimes that sodium comes from Subway. yum.gif

    that's a pretty broad category..... what are you counting as processed food? Bread is processed, most cheeses, yogurt, milk, etc. Any food that goes throgh a process to prepare it for human consumption is considered processed. Canning, homogenization, pastuerization, are all processes. Dehydrating pasta and putting it into a box is a process.

    But some people do, and they should still go there and eat if they want to.
