Dr James DiNicolantonio, a cardiologist at the Central American Heart Research Institute in Kansas City and the head of the study, said: ' Sugar, not salt, can be the real cause of blood disease. high pressure This result is based on an analysis of large-scale studies that suggest that sugar is more relevant to human high blood pressure than salt. '

The results of Dr. DiNicolantonio's research group also contradict the experts that reducing salt consumption will reduce the rate of obesity and cardiovascular disease. The scientists also gave evidence from a recent study of 8,670 adults in France, showing that there is no association between salt and high blood pressure.

"Reducing salt consumption can lead to increased consumption of processed foods high in sugar. This increases the risk of diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, encourage consumers to limit their use. Sugar instead of salt is a better way to control high blood pressure , 'said Dr. DiNicolantonio.

Dr. Aseem Malhotra, director of the Road Operation Campaign (UK), said that the risk of sugar with human health has not been properly assessed.'We already know that sugar does not provide any nutrients and there is growing evidence that it is the cause of many diseases'.
