A member asked:
Does featherweight baking powder interfere with heart medications like salt substitutes ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check with doctor...: A person on heart meds can check with his primary care doctor and/or his cardiologist about using featherweight baking powder, which states that it is sodium free, but does have some potassium in it. Its website says 1/8 teaspoon of it has 70mg of potassium, so a patient can ask his doctor if that's ok.
