Database sodium errors

I've noticed that a lot of foods contain incorrect entries for sodium, or salt. The database expects values in mg, but most foods in the UK are listed in g. That means that for a food that contains 3g of salt per unit, the value in MFP should be 3000mg. If a food contains 0.06g per unit, the MFP value should be 60mg.

Unless I'm reading the database incorrectly, many foods have sodium listed at a thousandth of their true value.
