    Personally, I never worry about sodium too much. I love hot sauce and sodium just causes water retention, so its just temporary. Hot Sauce itself has a minuscule amount of calories. If you like it, eat it!

    I use a ton of hot sauces, but when I had to cut sodium, I bought Alex's ugly sauce. It has 5mg sodium in 5ml.

    Hot sauce has helped my fiancé in the past with healthy eating. I'm not much of a spicy eater, personally, but it definitely helps with adding a kick of flavor. Just be smart about it, and enjoy what you like! :)

    I probably have 9 hot sauces in my fridge right now. I use very hot habanero sauce on a lot of meals. A little goes a long way!

    It is good for you, and like others said, you usually don't eat large quantities at one sitting.

    Eat it!

    Make your own as a supplement from time to time, it's amazing, and a lot less sodium. But as long as you are drinking plenty of water the sodium shouldn't be a problem. I was just looking it up, and it seems a 12oz bottle of franks would average out to 1900mgs of sodium a day if had a bottle a week.

    I love hot sauce. It has zero negative effects for me. My preferred brand is Cholula.

    I don't worry about it.

    I use hot sauce almost daily. When I make cauliflower buffalo wings I use 1/4 to 1/2 cup for the sauce and eat the entire amount that I make. It has never made a difference for me outside of minor water weight gain sometimes.

    There has to be a better name for this! Stop trying to trick people into eating cauliflower by attaching the names of great food to it!

    Oh here is some cauliflower pizza, or cauliflower buffalo wings, or do you want some cauliflower hash browns! No I just want pizza, buffalo wings, and hash browns you crazy magician!
