    And then put twice the amount because it’s only half as salty. Still dumb imo.

    It’s only good if you are deficient in potassium though, which I believe a lot of people are (although I don’t know how easily our body can get potassium from KCl)

      KCl is 60% as salty as NaCl, which means lite salt is ~80% as salty as regular salt, so it should still result in less sodium being used overall. KCl also reduces blood pressure, acting like an opposite to NaCl, which raises the blood pressure. Lite salt is great for people with high blood pressure.
