Only dangerous for those who are on potassium-sparing blood pressure
medications.  For those who are first trying to control their BP with
diet, it's a Good Thing.  

Extra potassium IS a good idea for those who get night-time muscle
cramps (as well as calcium) and for those who are on relatively
low-carbohydrate eating plans it's downright necessary.
