    Medical experts recommend no more than 1800mg daily. If you have underlying medical issues like high blood pressure, etc. then 1500mg.

    For me, MFP's default was 2500mg so I decreased it to 2000mg and I'm trying to work my way down from there.

    There are numerous studies and articles available online that explain the dangers of high sodium diets.
