Thanks so much for this—I love quick cost-effectiveness attempts and this is an interesting idea—strong Upvote! I agree with @Henry Howard🔸 that the risks and downsides of universal supplementation with potassium are very different from folate due particularly to the potential to worsen hyperkalemiea (even by a touch) in certain groups of people.
Fortification is always a tough sell as is, and in this case with almost certain (if small) downsides in this case it might be almost impossible to implement even with net benefit.
