It's Not Just Salt That Ups High Blood Pressure...
Dear Reader,
When it comes to high blood pressure, we know that a diet too high in sodium
can push those readings into the danger zone, now experts have found that eating
too many sweets, or drinking too much soda, might just have the same effect.
A new study finds that those who have a diet high in fructose (the major portion
of high fructose corn syrup) are more likely to have hypertension.
The team of researchers, led by Dr. Michel Chonchol analyzed the diet and blood pressure readings of over 4,500 adults in the U.S. who had no history of high blood pressure. The Centers of Disease Control (CDC) collected the data the team used via national surveys over a four-year period, including information on activity and body mass index. The team estimated the subjects' fructose intake based on detailed diet questionnaires, nutrition information came from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The average fructose intake of the subjects was 74 grams a day; about the amount you'd get from 2.5 cans of regular soda or other sources (cookies, candy and chocolate). Those who took in more fructose were even more likely to have hypertension than those who consumed less. In fact, above average fructose intake raised the chances of having a blood pressure reading over 140/90 and 160/100 by 30% and 77% respectively.
What's worse, the increased risk appears to be independent of other eating habits including the amount of salt and carbs, and even the overall calorie intake.
We know how common high fructose corn syrup is in today's foods - look on practically any label and you'll find it. Detractors claim it contributes to obesity and being overweight, while tricking the body into wanting to eat more. Yet the industry has invested in a series of TV ads to convince the public the sweetener is safe and natural, while also claiming that the additive helps prolong shelf life, keeps moisture in, and is cheaper to use than real sugar.
Of course the findings of this latest study do not prove that fructose actually causes high blood pressure. Even though the researchers accounted for other health factors and dietary habits (besides fructose), it is possible that something else, as yet unknown, is the reason for the apparent link according to Dr. Cheryl Laffer a professor at Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine.
No one knows how fructose might impact blood pressure. One theory is that fructose may force the body to absorb sodium more readily. It might also up levels of uric acid, shown also to play a role in high blood pressure.

It's Not Just Salt That Ups High Blood Pressure... Continued...
Another important point, the research is based on self reported data supplied
by the participants, and this method of collecting information relies on the
accuracy and truthfulness of the recollections of the subjects. This makes for
estimates of fructose intake that may not be as accurate as we'd like.
The Corn Refiners Association, the industry trade group, makes just this point,
challenging the researchers estimate that 2.5 cans of regular soda has 74 grams
of fructose. They also point out the very real limitations of self-reported diet
habits. Watch for more work to be done.
Of course, this isn't a reason to go on a sugar binge, or think that you need
make no changes to your eating habits. Far from it. Taking in lots of high fructose
corn syrup is not particularly good for you... it's still sugar, still man-made.
And yes, while it might be fine in moderation, it can be big trouble if you overindulge,
which most of us do.
To your good health,
