What some restaurants tout 1 as specials, the food police called toxic 2 for their salt content.


"What we found were shocking, even for people like me who have been immersed in this issue for 30 years."


The non-profit Center for Science in the Public Interest, a health advocacy group, tracked meals at chain restaurants finding some contain more than three times the amount of salt that’s recommended on the daily basis. The Red Lobster 3 Admiral’s feast, the lobster, mashed 4 potatoes, Caesar salad, a biscuit and lemonade total just over 7,000 milligrams of salt. Chili's buffalo 5 chicken Fajita's with tortillas, condiments 6 and a Dr. Pepper almost 7,000. Olive Garden's Tour of Italy lasagna with bread stick, family size garden salad and dressing 7 and a Coca-Cola over 6,000 milligrams. And the report targets kid's menus. The Red Lobster's chicken fingers with the biscuit, fries and raspberry lemonade has about 2,400 milligrams of salt, roughly two days recommended intake 8 of sodium 9 for kids.


"Salt is pretty dangerous because it can lead to high blood pressure which leads to heart attack and stroke and it also can worsen the condition of people who have heart failure."


The American Heart Association recommends adults have less than 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day which amounts to a teaspoon 10. For African-Americans, middle aged 11 and older adults and people with high blood pressure, the recommended limit is 1,500 milligrams. Red Lobster, Olive Garden, and Chili's did not dispute this finding, but told CNN they offer options to people watching calories and sodium intake. A restaurant trade group supports listing nutritional 12 information and says restaurants have been cutting sodium levels.


"We need to recognize that people go to restaurants for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it's for convenience, sometimes it’s their occasional indulgence. So it's not something that they will consume every day."
