This review is from: The Healthy Heart Food Counter (Mass Market Paperback)

I purchased this book for my mother who has heart disease and is on a low-sodium, low-fat diet. She was very frustrated trying to count her daily sodium intake and was having difficulty finding sodium levels on many foods. This book has been very helpful for her and makes it much easier to stick to her diet.
