Dr. Dan brought up several good points the other day.
One he didn't mention the best I recall is just how much salt the average American eats, bad for your blood pressure!
I cut back on salt a long time back and haven't added any salt to anything except fresh foods and that only minimally.
This last episode with my heart brought my cardiologist to tell me to take the salt shaker completely off the table and I did.:barf:
Many canned goods have way too much salt for my taste and has for some time. Barbie now rinses any canned goods that aren't salt free and they still have plenty of salt for my taste.
To get to the point the salt subsitutes taste like crap!!!!:thumbdn: :barf:
All but one anyway. I ran across this on the Internet a while back and according to one website it was available in some grocery stores in Phoenix so I had my daughter who works for one of the supermarkets out there look for it and she finally found it.
The product is called AlsoSalt and although it isn't real salt it isn't bad at all!!!!
I can eat it on fresh sliced oranges, lemons and apples that I am often wont to do and I enjoy it.
Some things just have to have that salty flavor to be the best they can be.
I haven't tried it's alter ego the "HalsoSalt" yet but it has the same Potassium/Lysine combo the AlsoSalt does.
So if you need to or want to cut back on your salt intake and if you're low on potassium you might check it out.

It can be ordered online if you can't find it locally.
As always use like anything consult your Dr. first or if you've been told to lower your salt intake then you should be good to go.
This has been a Public Service Announcement.
