Everyone knows that the succulent white meat from a Turkey Breast is probably the leanest and best choice to make if you're watching your Cholesterol, Calories, Fats, and/or Sodium - Right? ... NOT !! ... Being someone who needs to watch all those numbers I decided to check out 3 items I found in my freezer. This is by no means a scientific test but it opened my eyes and maybe it will help others when they're making decisions.

Been telling my nutritionist that certain cuts of Pork are leaner than Chicken or Turkey but she's not convinced. Course if she had her way I'd be a Vegan :-\ ;D ... Not that there's anything wrong with that!!
Serving Size: 4 oz

Kirkland Swift Premium Pork Sirloin Tip Roast:
Enhanced with up to 10% of a solution of Pork Broth, Sodium Citrate, & Natural Salt
Foster Farms Chicken Drumsticks:
100% Natural
Master Cut Turkey Breast:
Moistness enhanced by up to 15% of a solution. Seasoned with Real Creamery Butter
Food for thought. Next time you're in your local grocery store check out some of the numbers ... It just might surprise you!!
* This is not a scientific test and I excluded Beef, other Pork cuts, Chicken Breasts/Thighs, Turkey legs/Thighs, Fish, etc.

Very interesting..this is why I cook everything from scratch so I can control what I eat. It takes alot to do that too. Suggestion..try venison. Pam ★*˚°。°

Thanks Pete!

I too read the labels....go get a can of green beans out of your cabinet and you will be surprised at the amount of salt, 1/3 of what you need per day. We now only buy the Publix no salt added brand
