Lo Salt, Salt alternative

Lo Salt - the salt alternative I am quite conscious of the amount of salt in my diet, we all know that we are not supposed to exceed 6 grams a day but with the amount of hidden salt in foods, it can be difficult to stick to this. So, recently I bought Lo Salt which has 66% less sodium than regular table, sea and rock salt, but also claims to have all of the flavour. According to Lo Salt's website, The Blood Pressure Association (the UK's blood pressure charity) says that reducing salt intake to 3g a day could prevent around 20,000 stroke and heart attack deaths in the UK each year. This is a massive statistic so seems a pretty good reason for ...  Read the complete review

Theres a lot of hype nowadays about reducing the amount of salt intake we have in our diets and im all for it. However, I do believe that a small amount of salt does add a really nice flavour to foods and im sorry, no matter how much Im told not to use it, I just can't have chips without salt & vinegar - its just not natural!!

Regular salt is sodium chloride, but lo salt is 66% potassium ...  Read the complete review

Too much salt in the diet robs the body of potassium so it's a hugely sensible idea to have a seasoning product that actually gives the body more potassium than sodium. How it works ---------------- Potassium enables nutrients to move into cells and waste products out. It promotes healthy nerves, fluid balance, insulin secretion, heart and gut function. It's a hugely important mineral that can be found in your five-a-day but robbed from the immense array of food that has too much salt in it. Lo Salt contains 66% potassium to 33.3% sodium ; that's a good ratio. How to use Lo-Salt ------------------------ I love ...  Read the complete review
