Sea Salt vs table salt: Anybody notice a diff?

. As you may know to much potassium can give you arrhythmias. In fact, before they knew better, potassium salt substitute was quite popular.

Definitely. :thumbup:

Too little of it can give you arrhythmias and palpitations too, same for magnesium and probably calcium. The thing is, the average American diet has several times more sodium than necessary, and is often short on potassium. People are easily deceived by "reduced sodium" and "less sodium" and whatever, instead of looking at the numbers on label.

I like kosher salt which is left in larger crystals. I also have a leftover container of "margarita salt" in a sombrero shaped container that I use at the office (not on margaritas). It has the larger crystals. Don't know if it tastes any different, but I like to add a pinch to my lunch. It seems a little cruncy and saltier.

I had sea salt without iodine that was finely ground and could tell no difference between it and regular old Mortons salt, except it was a lot more expensive.

I've never heard of the average American diet being short on potassium. I would think the only folks who be at risk for too little potassium would be athletes and folks on certain diuretics.

Read that article I linked too, it is short and explains about the salt in the food thing.

I didn't even see low salt cheerios on the store shelves...they probably tried to charge extra for them.
