  Or just replace sodium chloride with potassium chloride …harvard.edu/…/does-a-low-salt-diet-really-improv…

  Low salt requires bland food prepped at home. Changing salt type might actually have a chance at making a dent in BP numbers because it doesn’t involve an immediate inconvenience (lack of flavor and convenience) for a long term payoff of less than 10% of a number that’s correlated with slightly lower chances of something happening years in the future.

    Isn’t the lack of flavour / blandnness highly determined by what you’re used to? If you eat less salty foods for a while it would taste like before

      Maybe, but that doesn’t solve the issue of the unpleasant, immediate consequence for a nebulous, far-off payoff. We’re not going to get better humans any time soon, so I think it’s not useful to focus on individual based solutions population level problems.
