Alert Readers Spot Teaspoon Typo

Summary


Dear Dr. Gott: Your recent column in the Wisconsin State Journal said that 1 teaspoon of salt contained 230 milligrams of sodium. My salt containers says 1/4 teaspoon contains 590 milligrams, so 1 teaspoon would have 2.36 grams, 10 times what your column said and more than the recommended daily intake. I hope that you will print a correction.

Dear Dr. Gott: Wow. After years of good advice, you really blew it today. In your article on water-softener salt, you mentioned 1 teaspoon of salt contains 230 milligrams of sodium. Boy, are you way off. According to my sources, 1 teaspoon is equal to 2,000 milligrams or more! As you know, this is a huge issue in our society, and I'm sure you will set this right as you always do. Sign me a loyal reader, CPR instructor and home-care nurse that frequently copies your articles for home-care patient teaching.
