It is low salt, so I've got a slightly higher lower life expectancy.


I wouldn't bet on that, part of the sodium is replaced with Potassium

"Unfortunately not everyone should use a sodium-replacement salt. If you
have kidney disease, or are taking certain blood pressure medications, a
large increase in potassium could be harmful. Please check with your
doctor before using a sodium-replacement salt."

"Low-sodium salts typically replace some of the sodium in sodium
chloride with potassium, so they're a mixture of sodium and potassium
chloride. Potassium chloride does have a salt-like taste, but there's a
reason we've been sprinkling our steaks exclusively with sodium-infused
crystals for thousands of years -- potassium chloride can kill you.

Potassium chloride is the principle positive ion in our body's cells and
can help lower blood pressure. Unfortunately, it can also stop your
heart. In fact, potassium chloride, while safe in small dosages, is the
toxin of choice for many states' lethal injection procedures, so it's
definitely not something you want to ingest in excess. Most low-sodium
salts advise you to consult a doctor before consuming, but if you ask
us, it's safer to just stay away from non-food products, especially if
they can kill you."




Oh, Crikey!! I'm doomed! Oh well, I'll just have to use up what I've
got left, then slowly kill myself off with the original salt :~(

Thanks for the warning, David. I'll have to try and cut down on any
salt, but it won't be easy.
