Entering Sodium in food warning

Just thought I'd bring up a slight problem I've encountered with some food database entrys for sodium that I feel people entering and using the data should be aware of. When entering data please note that 1g = 1000mg. Thus if the nutrient value on the box says 0.8g you need to enter 800mg not 80mg as I''ve noticed a few times now. Here's me thinking my sodium intake was never really a problem when on closer inspection it turned out it was.
