Biotech Values

I've been conducting a single subject, ABAB design on myself(read "falling off the compliance wagon") on sodium intake and BP for two years now. I go from an average of 145/95 when not compliant to 122/72 when I stay on a 25% RDA based diet. There's enough sodium in both meat and unprocessed fruits, vegetables and grains to maintain anyone's appropriate sodium level.

I'm ready to write a book called "Salt Slaves" as the food industry has literally salted us away. Even for those of us who do not have medication resistent hypertension, the sodium overload is surely shifting the BP curve significantly to the right, sending millions into hypertension from the area under the curve considered high normal.
