Chloride occurs naturally in all unprocessed foods, albeit in very small amounts. For example, 1 gram of raw and unprocessed fish and meat contains up to 4 mg of chloride. Fruits and vegetables generally contain less than 1 mg of chloride per gram of food. However, the form that contributes the most to daily intake of this mineral is table salt.
Foods high in chloride include: sauces, processed meats (such as ham, bacon, sausage), cheese, and canned fish.
Chloride interacts with sodium and potassium to help regulate the volume of water in the body and support the function of muscle and nerve cells. Regularly exceeding the recommended intake for these three micronutrients increases the risk of many diseases.
Chloride deficiency is not uncommon, as this mineral is found in many foods. In general, chloride deficiency is due to metabolic disorders or certain health conditions that cause the body to excrete excessive amounts of this mineral.
Exceeding the maximum recommended daily intake for chloride creates the risk of high blood pressure, which in turn causes cardiovascular or kidney disease.
