fatnews.com Hi, this is Larry Hobbs @ FatNews.com. The one-fifth of people consuming the most potassium were 35% less likely to die from coronary heart disease than the one-fifth of people consuming the least. The top one-fifth consumed an average of 3363 mg of potassium per day versus 1720 mg per day for the bottom one-fifth. Hi, this is Larry Hobbs @ FatNews.com The one-fifth of people consuming the most sodium versus the one-fifth consuming the least were: 42 percent more likely to have cardiovascular disease… 55 percent more likely to have a stroke of any kind… 104 percent more likely to have an ischemic stroke (2X as likely). The top one-fifth consumed 6523 mg of sodium per day versus 2322 mg per day for the bottom one-fifth. The study involved 58730 Japanese subjects (23119 men and 35611 women) aged 4079 years with no history of stroke, coronary heart disease, or cancer completed a lifestyle questionnaire between 1988 and 1990. They were followed for an average of 12.7 years. This is another reason that I believe that potassium (bicarbonate) is vastly superior to ALL of the drugs used for blood pressure. All of the drugs used for blood pressure interfere with natural processes in the body. A 2004 study (Smoller) found that in older (50-74) hypertensive women, where 20000 were taking BP meds, and 10000 were taking NO BP meds, even though blood pressure was 10-15 mm Hg lower in those taking BP meds, 7 of the 8 drug groups were MORE likely to die of CV disease.
