I definitely file potassium chloride under "strange non-salt substitutes". It doesn't taste anything approaching right, and if it turns out excess potassium is at least as harmful as excess sodium I won't be in the least surprised.
Meanwhile, it's not actually clear salt is genuinely a health problem, and only about 10% of the population is predisposed to high blood pressure as a result of increased salt intake.
Historically, I've had a savoury tooth, not a sweet one. This has served me well. Unfortunately, some complicated life events two years ago exposed me to far more sweet foods than I was used to — sugar is indeed addictive I'm trying to wean myself back off them.
