But I'm pretty sure everything that has a sweet taste has something in it ending in -ose, meaning it's some kind of sugar. And then I got a chemistry set for Christmas one year and potassium chloride was one of the chemicals. I was a smartass and knew that potassium chloride is basically just table salt with some extra protons and neutrons, so I disregarded the warning on the label and tried it. And it was like super salt. It was saltier than salt. <br /><br />So that doesn't explain why you're off sweets, but if you're jonesing for salt potassium chloride will be like cocaine. I would recommend francium chloride, which I'm sure exists, but it's rare and probably explosive. It's also radioactive, so it would probably give you cancer, but you could totally get away with that cancer comparison if you actually had cancer.
