Readily available and safe.

Yes... And also used to treat a condition.
Kind of like taking an aspirin to control clotting. It is given to treat a condition with the understanding that it is reasonably safe.
one of the possible effects of the long term use of aspirin, is hemorrhagic stroke.
That's the danger of reading and not understanding.
Also, don't make the mistake of thinking no one else has a degree.
The source I quoted said "safe." If you're arguing that it is unsafe, what are you based that conclusion on?
Who said anything about someone having or not having a degree? What does that have to do with whether or not doctors consider potassium citrate to be safe enough to use in a blind study to test the effect on bone health? Can we make an agreement to stay somewhat on topic?
The "degree's" piece is related to this statement. "I honestly don't know if actual doctors share your concerns about potassium citrate."
Also, I'm not arguing that it is unsafe...
I am telling you that you did not understand what is written and I guarantee you did not read the whole thing especially, because the webpage you've posted contains the definitions, descriptions and conclusions.
The complete data is not available and it isn't even relevant.
The whole point here is that this particular chemical compounds has been observed to cause some particular side effects. You can read the side effects and long term side effects on google if you don't believe what I wrote.
Now, it is generally safe and particularly beneficial when treating a specific condition.
The benefits outweigh the possible long term side effects.
However, when you use it daily, for no specific reason, all you get is the possible side effects.
Again, Coke tastes delicious. I don't drink it, but I love it.
All I'm saying here is that if you didn't know i contained these compounds, now you do.
Whether or not that's going to have any impact on what you put in your body, I don't know.
As I said before, Drink whatever you want.

I usually have 0-2 Coke Zeros a day, depending on what's up. I also like Pepsi max @JBApplebee, but it's not as available as Coke Zero is to me, and I'll choose CZ over PM in the grocery store if I'm buying a 12 pack (unless there's a great sale or coupon). I was a HUGE Pepsi drinker (2-3 cans a day) before weight loss, so I'm just a soda fan in general. I drink a crapton of sparkling water, but I still love a brown and bubbly sweet drink.0

Good Question.
Potassium Citrate is a chemical compound used to reduce acidity.
In medicine it can be used to reduce the effects of Gout and the formation of Kidney Stones.
It is intended for short term use to control specific symptoms.
Long term exposure may cause hyperkalemia (Excessive Potassium in the Blood). Hyperkalemia symptoms are dizzyness, irregular heart rhythm, mood swings and confusion, numbness and tingling sensations etc.
Basically, you're drinking an Anti-Corrosive, although very mild, because Coke Zero tastes good.
Put 10 years of exposure into it, that's when problems exacerbate.
I've been drinking diet soda for a lot longer than 10 years and amazingly I'm still alive (and in excellent health). Go figure

Ok... let me explain... AGAIN.
Every chemical compound present in an FDA approved food item, supplement, medicine etc has had to be demonstrated to be "Generally Safe for Human Consumption"
That means it is a controlled compound. Period.
So, if you want to know every possible effect, you can read about drug description leaflet for any drug or supplement that is Potassium Citrate based.
That's all.
No one is saying that drinking diet coke is the equivalent of picking up your grandma's diet pills and smoking them in a pipe.

It's not assuming you don't have a degree, it's assuming that you aren't a licensed medical doctor. Those are two completely different things.
The entire study isn't relevant to the point I'm making (we're not talking about the conclusions for bone health). I posted that abstract for one specific reason -- that potassium citrate was described as "safe" in it and the people conducting the study considered it safe enough to use in a double-blind study to see if it had an impact on bone health. They wouldn't have done that with a substance they considered harmful. The rest of the study would be relevant if we were having a different type of conversation. I'm sorry I didn't put that in better context for you -- I assumed my other comments would make that clear. I hope now you better understand why I posted the link to that abstract -- it wasn't to highlight the study overall, just the language in that portion and their justification for studying the substance (again, that it was judged to be "safe").
I did know that it contained those ingredients because I typically read the ingredients for foods I choose to consume and look up any that I'm not familiar with. Why would you assume that I need education from you in order to decide what to consume or that you communicating ingredients that I'm already aware of would impact my decisions? Frankly, it seems like you're vastly overestimating how much people think of your opinion.
Whether or not Coke is delicious is a completely different conversation from whether or not it is dangerous. You keep trying to sow doubt with these vague little statements, but you still haven't posted anything concrete. Why should anything you write have an impact on what people choose to put in their bodies?

You wrote this: "Put 10 years of exposure into it, that's when problems exacerbate."
So someone pointing out that many, many people have more than ten years of exposure without the problems you are warning about is absolutely relevant.8 -

I drink diet soda...not fat. I was fat when I was drinking regular soda...lost 40 Lbs with diet soda in my life.
The problem with correlation studies is that other variables aren't controlled.
Nobody really thinks that. I say that as someone who has from time to time washed down most of a pizza with Diet Pepsi. Fat people aren't stupid, you know. It's just a relatively painless way to save some calories for people who have other issues with food. I don't know if you mean to come off as contemptuous toward the overweight, but it kind of sounds that way to me.

First off it's "Generally Recognized as Safe" AKA GRAS. if you're going to pontificate, be accurate. Second there's no pamphlet. It's a paragraph§184.1625 Potassium citrate.
(a) Potassium citrate (C6H5K3O7·H2O, CAS Reg. No. 006100-0905-096) is the potassium salt of citric acid. It is prepared by neutralizing citric acid with potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate. It occurs as transparent crystals or a white granular powder, is odorless and deliquescent, and contains one mole of water per mole of potassium citrate.
(b) The ingredient meets the specifications of the Food Chemicals Codex, 3d ed. (1981), p. 242, which is incorporated by reference in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51.

(c) In accordance with §184.1(b)(1), the ingredient is used in food with no limitation other than current good manufacturing practice.
(d) Prior sanctions for this ingredient different from the uses established in this section, or different from those set forth in part 181 of this chapter, do not exist or have been waived.

Honestly, i don't care about your opinion. You quoted me and I responded.
But just in case you're curious, try to find out how long this study went on for and see if it qualifies as a "long term"
Oh... and one more thing... The double blind group also signed the release forms.

I have several. None of which are relevant to the topic at hand.
Although I'm also literate(since I was 6) which is relevant to the topic at hand. Since I've been reading journals recreationally since before I was a teenager, so I've got some background in critical study of scientific and technical writing.
Edited to clarify: I first started reading technical and scientific journals recreationally in early middle school, I was 11 or 12 not 6.3 -

I'd like to think you understand that was a study of potassium citrate's impact on bone health and not a study of the overall safety of potassium citrate, but I can't tell if you're just determined to respond in bad faith or just really bad at reading.
What do release forms have to do with it? Release forms don't allow researchers to give people unsafe substances in studies of this type. Even if it did (and it doesn't), the researchers wouldn't turn around and describe the substance as safe.
