Waterfall Diet FAQ: Potassium Salt

One of the most frequently asked questions about the Waterfall Diet is “Where can I get potassium salt?”

It used to be readily available from health food stores in the UK under the name “Ruthmol”. But just after the publication of the Waterfall Diet, the company that used to make this product was taken over by another company, which discontinued it.

Fortunately now that the UK government is recommending a reduction in sodium consumption (sodium is the main component of salt) the food industry has started making potassium salt products again. These are known as “salt substitutes”, and the following brands are available in health food stores and supermarkets:

United Kingdom
“No Salt” (from Prewett) or “Salt Rite”.

United States
“Also Salt” or “Morton Salt”.

Please do use them sparingly. Like sodium-based salt, potassium salt also has a high chloride content.
