Very interesting article. Thanks for posting it.
It got me curious about the amounts of potasium/sodium and their ratios in meat. Since my diet is mainly low carb/high fat/moderate protein.
Food (All in 1 oz sizes raw) - Sodium (mg)- Potassium(mg) - Ratio
Trout (wild) - 8.78 - 136.28 - 1:15.52
Trout (farmed) - 9.92 - 127.78 - 1:13.74
Salmon (chinook) - 13.32 - 111.63 - 1:8.38
Bison - 15.31 - 97.24 - 1:6.35
Deer - 14.46 - 90.15 - 1:6.23
Beef rib eye - 15.88 - 86.47 - 1:5.45
Elk - 16.44 - 88.45 - 1:5.38
Pork loin rib - 16.44 - 84.62 - 1:5.21
Lamb - 12.76 - 44.51 - 1:3.5
