Check this out... (it's short)

For one thing, apparently the table salt we use to satisy these cravings (and all its evil cousins in our processed food) is "stripped" of natural goodness (other minerals, etc.), so sea salt and such would be much better. I knew that, about processed foods, of course (too MUCH of the stuff), but never though about the Morton's girl being sanitized (i.e., made less healthy) for our convenience.
But reading down near the end....my take, Dinah, is that either your body does the sodium/potassium transmutation thing, either because you live in a hot climate OR because you're an athlete.
Personally, I'd start telling everyone you know it's the latter :-)
