Blood Pressure Drugs are More Dangerous than High Blood Pressure.
Dr. Bruce West, a natural heart specialist in Monterrey, CA, says it's natural for blood pressure to increase somewhat as people age (His website is HealthAlert.com at [1]). Because the arteries age, it takes more blood pressure to get enough blood to vital organs. Blood pressure drugs lower blood pressure by weakening the heart. This tends to result in strokes, heart attacks and especially congestive heart failure.
Fructose & Sugar are Major Causes of High Blood Pressure etc.
Dr. Joseph Mercola, of Schaumburg, IL, (whose website is Mercola.com [2]), had an article in 2010 about a finding that fructose is a major cause of high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes etc.
The main sources of fructose are HFCS, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, honey, molasses and maple syrup. Avoid processed foods as they generally contain HFCS or sugar.
