Keep it Healthy: Soy sauce, a condiment commonly used in Asian dishes, is very high in sodium, coming in at about 1,000 milligrams per tablespoon. Even low-sodium soy sauce has about half that amount, it's still considered a high-sodium product, so use it sparingly and avoid adding it at the table.
