They are pretty much exchangable elements, and potassium is not really that much more expensive. I'm getting pretty tired of all the high sodium processed and restaurant foods they throw at us these days. They are just trying to cover up poor quality ingredients. BTW: What do you think about all the storys of sodium (nitrate) being good for you? It sounds like politics (and greed) have infiltrated the scientific community. I know that sodium increases blood pressure, and blood pressure increases the incidence of cardiovascular events. No wander half of Americans have high blood pressure. The same corporate entitys that sell us this stuff probably sell us blood pressure medication. They are probably killing their own stockholders.
