Is potassium chloride win-win by decreasing sodium intake and increasing potassium intake?

This is the second in a three-part series on salt and potassium. If you missed the first video, see Fewer Than 1 in 5,000 Meet Sodium and Potassium Recommended Intakes (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/fewer-than-1-in-5000-meet-sodium-and-potassium-recommended-intake). We finish the series with Potassium Chloride Salt Substitute Side Effects (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/potassium-chloride-salt-substitute-side-effects).

I talk about the randomized controlled trials for sodium in The Evidence That Salt Raises Blood Pressure (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-evidence-that-salt-raises-blood-pressure/).
