      Yes, I was surprised that bananas were not mentioned.

    2. As you say, bananas have potassium, but not as much as a potato.
      If neither is organic they are both highly pesticide sprayed. Bananas for spiders, and potatoes for everything else.

  1. can a person be in danger of too much natural potassium?

    1. A person can be in danger of too much of most anything.
      900mg a day is plenty, but check with your doctor.
      A large baked potato, and a banana, and a glass of tomato juice taken all at once will go over 900 mg, but it is highly unlikely you will die from it.

    You forgot to mention tomato juice, which has 920mg of potassium per glass.

    Indeed, the problem usually isn’t too much sodium in the diet (we need it to function); the problem is that people aren’t getting enough potassium to balance it, and they’re ingesting the wrong kind of salt (white processed table salt).

  4. There have been hundreds of studies done in the 1950’s and 60’s proving that potassium lowered high blood pressure. The thing is that we need over 650mgs a day.
    Check with your doctor on potassium if you need to lower your blood pressure; even though they are not trained in food nutrition.
    Over 55 million people worldwide come to hospitals with diet related health problems, and doctors are not trained in medical school in regards to food health….go figure? They take the Hippocratic oath, and Hippocrates said, “let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”. We can thank the drug companies for this cover up a health information.
    At the same time get off of all processed sugars, processed foods and high fructose corn syrup, that acerbates the problem, which ages the arteries and hardens them.
    Fish oils, helps to clean out the arteries and keep them young. Cod liver oil this time of year will help you avoid the flu, while others around you are getting sick.
    By the way, sugars causes the body to create insulin, and excessive insulin shortens your life by shortening your telomeres’.
