30 July 2010 Inside this special issue: ** Why you should always read the label…especially if you suffer from high blood pressure ** Breakthrough remedy reduces blood pressure 9.6 points in 28 days Dear Reader, Consuming even modest amounts of a sweetener commonly found in food and drink products could increase your risk of high blood pressure by as much as 77 per cent, researchers have found. Scientists from the University of Colorado examined nutritional data for 4,500 adults with no history of hypertension. They found that men and women who consumed 74 grams of High Fructose Corn Syrup experienced a 77 percent increased risk of Stage 2 hypertension (160/100 mmHg) To put it simply, this means that drinking two and a half cans of fizzy or fruit drinks a day containing HFCS will almost guarantee that one day you'll develop seriously high blood pressure. And, for many of us, that day may be a lot closer than you think. According to a major study last year, men who consumed a diet high in fructose experienced a spike in blood pressure after just TWO weeks. Yes, after just 14 days of eating foods filled with this sweetener, many of the men had serious blood pressure issues. Yet, when the men eliminated the fructose from their diets, their blood pressure returned to normal. More and more manufacturers are sneaking HFCS into their food products - anything from bread, cereal, biscuits, yogurt, ketchup, and even tomato soup. First off, it's cheaper than sugar. Secondly, it extends a product's shelf life. And, lastly, it's highly addictive! So, if you already suffer high blood pressure, you definitely need to start reading the labels on products right away. And here's something else you need to know… Stubbornly high blood pressure? Here's what to do to bring those numbers down… About one in three high blood pressure patients suffer from something called resistant blood pressure…..meaning that no matter how much they exercise, eat healthily and take blood pressure medication, their BP stays consistently high. So, apart from steering clear of products containing HFCS, what else can you do if you suffer stubbornly high blood pressure? Probably the best, fast-acting remedy specifically for high blood pressure that we've come across has been developed by Dr Stacey Miller, a Naturopathic doctor in Florida.
