Is a can a V8 good in replacing...

[rbranum]

not to mention the sodium in a V8 is ridiculous. My rule of thumb has always been to keep it as close to nature as possible

How bad is sodium for you and what are its effects

retain water, increase in blood pressure if your BP(bad if you have high blood pressure already).

I love drinking tomato juice, but not the kind from the stores. I get them from my garden, juice the tomatoes and can it myself. I prefer beefsteak tomatoes because the flavor is a bit better to me and I don't have to add salt. That may not be practical to alot of you guys, but if you have room for container gardens on your deck, that might be a possibility or just hit the farmer's markets for your tomatoes.

Yes. There are three types of V-8. One is the regular, another is hot and spicy, and there is a low-sodium one as well. I've seen them at Kroger and most grocery stores.

I know the v8 has a lot of sodium...but damn its good!


I don't make a habit of it, but I enjoy a glass of it every now and then

The low sodium V8 actually packs quite a bit of potassium in it, I believe 4 times the amount of sodium.
