Isn’t too much potassium a bad thing also? That’s why you cant buy good amount of potassium supplements in the usa?
Btw, I do have the salt replacement in my kitchen - it definitely works if you just need something a bit saltier. But by itself it tastes a bit off.

“product should be avoided in patients with diabetes, cardiac, and renal diseases who are on medicines like ACE inhibitor or ARB.”
Thank you!
So it is worse - even deadly for some.
Just eat less salt.
It’s only enriched. Presumably for you to hit dangerous levels you’d have to consume a ridiculous amount.
It’s also dangerous to people who are on blood pressure medications
They do mention it in the article. Running the numbers, it makes sense as a trade off. If you’re on BP meds, it’s easy to educate you about what you need to watch out for or avoid.
It just doesn’t make sense.
Why make an everyday product that people over consume - harmful for a part of the population?
The original problem that informed people still eat too much salt… Because everyone knows too much salt is bad for you.Public health is about making the populace healthier despite themselves. See cigarettes for example. At the national level, everything’s about cost / benefit.
If that’s would be true.
Look what they did to vaping in the US - now its either cigarettes or disposable with 50mg salt nic.
They intentionally killed the 3mg or 6mg devices - for the better good?
Vaping was harm reduction - now it is just or even more addicting than cigarettes.And they keep doing the $ over people - this was only one example.
Isn’t all that essentially unauthorised? Idk much about US FDA decisions. Then again, pointing to anything the US is doing right now is of questionable value.
Not true. If you have kidney disease, you should just plain avoid potassium chloride salt substitutes. Its significantly more dangerous than even excessive salt.
Yes, I realize they’re not speaking about salt substitutes here.
You could also just eat a normal amount of regular salt and call it good
