So if you eat a meal with 1200mg of salt, then eat a bunch of fruit containing 500mg of potassium. How much of that salt cancels out because of the potassium? Is there a limit to how much potassium can help?

This [Nutrition Made Simple video "The Best Salt According to Science"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_Fu-dwHA0M) says that it is. In the YouTube description box, there are a bunch of cited studies, but, honestly, I'm not 100% sure it's worth my time to read all...
