The problem for most people (98% of American Diets Potassium Deficient http://nutritionfacts.org/video/98-of-american-diets-potassium-deficient/) is not getting enough potassium, but you have to have functioning kidneys to keep you in balance. Too much phosphorus in the blood can also be a problem. Phosphate additives are something we should try to stay away from. See my three-part video series:
• Phosphate Additives in Meat Purge and Cola (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/phosphate-additives-in-meat-purge-and-cola/)
• Phosphate Additives in Chicken (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/phosphate-additives-in-chicken/)
