You are right:

Drinking a 12-ounce can of cola gives you around 12 milligrams of
sodium. Low-calorie caffeinated diet colas can have up to 24 milligrams
of sodium in 12 ounces. But usually noncaffeinated diet colas have about
the same 12 milligrams of sodium as regular colas. Regular caffeinated
pepper-type soft drinks have 36 milligrams of sodium in 12 ounces. If
you prefer caffeinated low-calorie pepper-flavored soft drinks, you’ll
get up to 60 milligrams of sodium, while noncaffeinated diet varieties
have around 12 milligrams per 12-ounce serving.

You can have up to 2,300 milligrams of sodium daily, as long as you’re
healthy. So that 12-ounce can of cola represents less than 3 percent of
your entire sodium allowance for the day. According to the Dietary
Guidelines for Americans 2010, if you have kidney problems, diabetes or
hypertension, or you are living with another chronic ailment, you should
limit your daily sodium intake to 1,500 milligrams. If you are in this
category, depending on which soft drink you choose, one can has up to 5
percent of your daily sodium allowance.
