	Sodium
		To illustrate, the following are sources of sodium in the diet.

	Sodium - LoveToKnow 1911
		Sodium carbonates are also widely dispersed in nature, forming constituents of many mineral waters, and occurring as principal saline components in natron or trona lakes, as efflorescences in Lower Egypt, Persia and China, and as urao in Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela.
		Sodium is largely employed in the manufacture of cyanides and in reduction processes leading to the isolation of such elements as magnesium, silicon, boron, aluminium (formerly), andc.; it also finds application in organic chemistry.

	Sodium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sodium is a soft, waxy, silvery reactive metal belonging to the alkali metals that is abundant in natural compounds (especially halite).
		Sodium chloride or halite, better known as common salt, is the most common compound of sodium, but sodium occurs in many other minerals, such as amphibole, cryolite, soda niter and zeolite.
		Sodium must be stored either in an inert (oxygen and moisture free) atmosphere (such as nitrogen or argon), or under a liquid hydrocarbon such as mineral oil or kerosene.

		For the manufacture of biodiesel, sodium hydroxide is used as a catalyst for the transesterification of methanol and triglycerides.

		Blood sodium testing is used to detect hyponatremia (low sodium) or hypernatremia (high sodium) associated with dehydration, edema, and a variety of diseases.
		Urine sodium levels are typically tested in patients who have abnormal blood sodium levels to help determine whether an imbalance is from taking in too much sodium or losing too much sodium.
		A low level of blood sodium means you have hyponatremia, which is usually due to too much sodium loss, too much water intake or retention, or to fluid accumulation in the body (edema).
