The issue with electrolyte safety is kidney function status. If your kidneys are healthy, they will excrete any excess. If not, your body can accumulate electrolytes, which can be dangerous. This is true with potassium, magnesium and sodium.

Years ago, there was a person who used an agricultural (Cardy brand) agricultural meter to test potassium levels in saliva, which correlate with serum levels (I know Carey had one also). The person posted about going to an all inclusive resort and eating liberally at the fruit part of the buffet. He saw levels in the high 5's or low 6's, if memory serves. So food can cause an increase if you do take it to extremes, as Carey says.Quote

I think food sources are always safe unless you take it to extremes.

When you cite low sodium V8 as an obvious exception, can you explain why you see it as different than Coconut Water? Were you making a distinction because the potassium chloride is an additive? How do you see that in terms of different results than drinking coconut water ...
Thanks

I've followed the links above for the Cardy potassium meters and am arriving at dead ends. Does anyone have a current link?

Carey, I'm sorry I don't know all of your backstory - can you give me a capsule version at least about your bouts with flutter, how it came about, your efforts with potassium (and why you stopped) and the ultimate outcome.
