    Being somebody who has to watch their sodium intake due to heart health concerns I would say that Morton is not at all deranged in creating this especially considering I’ve got a container of it sitting on my spice rack right now.

    Though it should be noted I do my best not to think about the fact that KCL is used in lethal injections. 😒 I just thank the gods I don’t have any ulcers.

      Potassium is totally normal and required by the body. It’s actually hard to get the RDA of potassium.

      It’s just that too much stops your heart.

        It’s also important to note that unless you’re on medication that prevents your body from releasing it (such as spironolactone) it’s extremely hard to od on it. Your body can release it in the urine if you have a bit too much

      It’s more the pure sodium part. Stop, drop, and roll would be a lot more important if it was pure sodium.
