I wonder what the "natural flavor" would be?
I know potassium chloride is the main alternative
to sodium chloride as a salt substitute, but what
could you add to potassium chloride to make it
more salt-like?

I used to use salt substitute and "lite" salt (50/50
mixture of sodium and potassium chlorides),
until I noticed some odd effects on my heartbeat
were being caused by these products. When I
quit using them, the funny heartbeats went away.

They ain't kidding with the warning on the label
that you should only use these products under the
advice of a physician!
