    It’s half potassium chloride, that can cause you heart issues too if you get to much of it.

      There is a risk if you have an extreme intake, but it’s going to be pretty hard to do that by seasoning your food with lite salt unless you’re doing something really extreme. Most people have a RDA of at least 2g of potassium, and I would hazard a guess that most people who are being told by their doctors to cut down on sodium intake probably aren’t getting a ton of potassium from what they’re eating.

      True, but doctors will still recommend it because of you tell people they can’t have any seasoning they might just ignore you.
      If you tell them they can have the other stuff, they’ll find it much easier to comply and it’s still much better.

      Stay hydrated and have good working kidneys and you should be fine. But that can be said for sodium chloride as well.
