                                According to reports by NxStage Kidney Care, boiling a hot dog for seven minutes can potentially reduce its sodium content by up to 60%. This surprising statistic suggests that a simple cooking method could significantly impact the nutritional profile of this classic processed food. But how exactly does this process work, and is the reduction truly effective for a low-sodium diet?
