Still no specifics - you couldn't come up with one initial because those people
don't exist.

Okay, how about this one.    How many grams of carbohydrates per day were being
ingested by the people you treated who:

- were on a low-carb diet
- ingested Lite Salt
- experienced "heart failure"
- ceased ingesting Lite Salt
- subsequently did not have "heart failure"

The reality is that you are referring to the dangers of HIGH potassium, but a
low carbohydrate diet puts one in a state of LOW potassium.

This is why I believe that you posted an unthinking reaction to the words
"LiteSalt", without taking into account that we are discussing a specific diet
that tends to remove fluids and electrolytes, including potassium.

People these days have an amazing resistance to saying "oops, I made a mistake".
