 RH> I've been using the KCl more the past week or so. I don't see my

Sort of weird - have you had any arrhythmia issues?

 RH> Had a nuclear stress test on the heart yesterday, got word today that

 RH> chee, seaweed, etc.

Congratulations on the stress test. I tend to flunk those.

 ML> don't see the point of potatoes.
 RH> I prefer them baked. Had them mashed almost every night (or Sunday

 RH> time we were there. The dill one was a bit heavy handed on the herb.

As I understand it, one ought to eat the skin to get the
potassium benefit from potatoes (not to mention the fiber),
but then you subject yourself to the solanine, which may
or may not be troublesome.

 RH> Didn't know reputable and fast food belong in the same sentence

My objections to fast food are mostly aesthetic rather than
health-based. If you don't get a gigantic beverage such as
they try to sell you, it's quite possible to get a reasonable
amount of nutrition for not too much money.

 RH> others, I walk right past when I'm at the store.

I logged into my Facebook account (I do so every 2 to
4 weeks, maybe 1 week if I am feeling particularly bored
or lonely) and have recently been bombarded from various
sources with articles trashing stevia, especially its
component whose name starts with an R, as being as unhealthy
as any other sweetener, though perhaps for different reasons.
I have no independent information on this subject, just saying.
