 CS> I like you snack mix too but Don still needs reduced salt options so

My housemate, Dennis, recently had a heart cath done for a 95% blocked
artery. And, of course, the cardio guy gave him the conventional "No
salt!" talk.

So, I hit the stupormarkup and bought him a shaker of Morton's Nu Salt 
(potassiuim chloride) and a couple shakers of Mrs. Dash to help him get
some "safe" flavour in his grub.

I did the same thing for myself after my cardiac ablation and pacemaker
implnt. Nu Salt works OK - but it gets bitter when you over-do. 

I have since gone back on using real salt and it doesn't seem to affect 
my BP nor make my feet sweel or any of the other gotchas. But, all cases
are their own deal. What works for  me may not for others.  Bv)=
