Increasing BP is not the same as inducing hypertension. You can have a
temporary increase in BP but this is not necessarily hypertension, or
into the realm of dangerously high. Mostly I am talking about those with
normal BP. Someone with already high BP could push it higher with
constant over indulgence in salt and can lower it by abstaining. But
salt does not "cause" hypertension.

Yes I am my own guinea pig, and my family and pets. Mostly they benefit.
Sometimes they don't like the "taste" of something I suggest. I say a
small price to pay for health. Stop whining or find a better treatment!
Sometimes they choose to suffer, but do so in silence as they know what
I will say, LOL.

I can't give you a figures on the reserach. Depends on what era it came
from. I take it ALL with a grain of "salt". <smile>
