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

        Not at all the statement of a moron: in colloquial usage yeah, salt is sodium chloride, but in in a chemistry setting it is not just sodium chloride. In this case it probably has potassium chloride — a sodium-free salt.
