There are absolutely alternatives, that are particularly important for people with high blood pressure, and anyone wanting to potentially lower their risk of stomach cancer. If you get your salt in the form of miso, it appears the soy counteracts the harmful effects of sodium. Even more, there are potassium-based salt substitutes that have already been shown to have huge benefits for mortality risk. Currently I use an iodized 66% potassium salt. It’s every bit as good as regular salt, and I think this kind of stuff needs to be in every home.
