Egg Whites / Sodium / Potassium

I drink the Papetti Liquid Egg Whites throughout the day. Diet and workouts are going great. I started cutting out as much sodium as possible. Each carton of egg whites have around 750 mg of sodium and 700 mg of potassium. my question is: does the potassium cancel out the sodium?

Thanx

No. But drinking plenty of water will help to keep your bloat down. If you are getting 1.5-2 gallons a day, sodium shouldnt be an issue.

That is actually an interesting question. I remember in physology we studied about the body having a sodium/potassium pump, to bad I don't recall all of the details, but I believe you have a valid question. Surely some of these science guru's will chime in.
