Sea Salt is 98% sodium chloride, and only TRACE AMOUNTS of Potassium.

The entire idea is to RESTORE Potassium, not to salt foods.   It is just more
convenient to use Lite Salt, since the government prohibits Potassium
supplements of more than 99 mg.

You previously stated:

 " Potassium supplements in normally recommended doses seems to work well. "

and above

 " I recommend sea salt. "

Since you are recommending sodium chloride in the form of sea salt, and you
recommend potassium supplements, then LITE SALT IS THE SAME THING - ie sodium
chloride mixed together with potassium supplements - for convenience.
