Yes, our cells in our body are little electrical cells..Simple explanation .. is Mostly Potasium and a little Salt.
If you eat a lot of fast food and junk food, which is Loaded with Salt.. your killing your-self according to the USA Government finding.. An Article written in 1977.Just push into the computor..USA 1977 findings on excess Salt in our Diet.
Sooo what happens the Salt pushes the Potassium out of our cells and kills the cell.. then we get sick, very sick.
So Please stay away from Salt and take ACV Daily
Stay healthy

Cream of Tartar
So one tsp of CoT would contain around 800mg of potassium, if I'm not completely mistaken. One source (http://blog.fooducate.com/2011/01/11/8-things-to-know-about-cream-of-tartar/ ) said it would contain 495 mg of potassium. I packed mine quite densely though and my equipment isn't necessarily very accurate.
Cream of Tartar
The reference on the page is this:
10/18/2009: Mortie from Pahrump, Nv: "For your minimum daily requirement of potassium take one level teaspoon of CREAM of TARTER - ABOUT 5 GRAMS as compared to 99 milligrams in a tablet."
That is incorrect. 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar contains just 11% of your daily needs, which is 495mg of potassium, not 5 grams -- that's a 10X difference. You can cite the following reliable sources:

I have not been able to find any information to say that cream of tartar would be contraindicated in breastfeeding. I checked my "Breastfeeding Answer Book" and could find no information about it. It was not listed in the table of foods and substances contraindicated during breastfeeding.
Personally, I would not be concerned. I was a nursing mom for most of 20 years and I don't think I would have thought twice about it.
But perhaps you have some information I am unaware of regarding it?
Your toddler is so blessed to still be nursing!

Side Effects

If one is going to take an OTC potassium supplement, make sure never to go over the recommend allowance. However, the best place to get potassium is from one food sources which provide other nutrients that work with each other to the bodies benefit. Also, some high blood pressure medications are potassium sensitive.
As for high blood pressure...that is the pressure on the arterial walls. The arteries have lost their elasticity and the pressure can cause the arteries to pop, especially the delicate small sections in the brain. Most high blood pressure medication deplete potassium. Those finding they are in the hypertension group should read, read, read and not believe product propaganda of a product. Check out peer reviewed documents on subject matter.
Dehydration will occur even if one does not take potassium. Dehydration is a loss of water and electrolytes, the + (positive) and - (negative) balance of the cells. Potassium and sodium keep the pressure of the cellular walls balanced.
I have never run across anything documented that connects potassium and mucus together. Can you provide references to this statement?
Side Effects
High Potassium Levels
Ted (from Bangkok-RIP) suggested taking sea salt to lower potassium levels & I'm wondering if anyone has tried this & if using Himalayan salt would work. Also read some time ago that taking baking soda reduces potassium - anyone out there with high potassium levels have any suggestions??
