Serving size is very deceptive
[Read the article: The Breakfast Liberation Front]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Sure, there may be a lot of sodium in Cheerios, but if you compare the actual serving size of a cup of Cheerios to 1 oz. of Doritos, you'll find that the serving size has very little to do with how much people actually eat.
Regular Cheerios have 280mg sodium per cup. Cooler Ranch Doritos have 170mg sodium per 1 oz.
When was the last time you sat down and ate an entire box of Cheerios? Maybe you'll eat 2 cups, and that's only 560mg of sodium total. Eating a whole 14oz. bag of Doritos in a sitting (which is not uncommon - that's not a very big bag at all) will give you a whopping 2380mg - and that's your entire RDA of sodium for the day.

[Read the article: Kitchen gadgets: You don't really need a brownie edge pan]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This review misses a trick that's essential to understanding why this is valuable and can do something that a regular pan can't. If you use the Edge pan and shave a few minutes off of the recipe, you'll get all perfectly-cooked gooey center pieces with no discernible edge crust. You simply can't replicate that with a regular pan without undercooking the center.
