Thank you for the correction. See link and article information below. ------ Correction: I'm not sure, metabolically you have correctly answered this. I'm not a doctor or anything even remotely close but what I can tell you is that sodium and potassium do cause reactions but not as stated above. Low sodium levels cause High potassium and High sodium Levels cause Low potassium. If a person has be diagnosed with HIGH potassium then greater than 5.0 mg then they should go to their doctor. There are many things that can contribute to high potassium so I would verify this first. here are some articles to back my information: http://charles_w.tripod.com/blood.html http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/potassium-k-in-blood?page=2
Unless you have some serious condition that prevents normal processing of potassium, you have nothing to worry about. The amount of potassium you'd need to consume to have health problems is so high that it's impossible to do from just eating a lot of fruits and vegetables. Indeed, most Americans consume far too little potassium and far too few fruits and vegetables. Unless you start abusing potassium supplements, there's pretty much no other way an otherwise healthy person can experience ill effects from potassium. Eat more fruits and more vegetables!
