Is there conclusive evidence that the majority of people with a high-sodium diet will develop high blood pressure mainly as a result of such a diet?

Although people suffering from hypertension (high blood pressure) are often advised to lower their sodium intake, there is little evidence to suggest that high-sodium diets CAUSE the hypertension in the first place. Further, the AMA now cautions people with normal BP not to go on low-sodium diets. (See the link to the Web MD article.)

Do they make tea that will help lower your blood pressure?
According to WebMD, there is evidence that drinking up to three cups of tea a day may reduce the odds of developing hypertension, but no evidence mentioned for lowering blood pressure once it is too high. There are some who believe that hibiscus tea will lower blood pressure. Dandelion tea acts as a mild diuretic and slightly lowers blood pressure by removing water. Finally, it should be noted that tea contains caffeine, which temporarily raises blood pressure.

Why is the measurement of pulse pressure so important?
Some evidence suggests that pulse pressure is a better predictor of clinical outcome than the systolic or diastolic blood pressure alone. However, using pulse pressure as a clinical predictor or diagnosis tool is complicated because the pulse pressure doesn't provide unique information. Pulse pressure must be calculated from the systolic and diastolic readings. So, saying that someone has an "elevated pulse pressure" is usually the same as saying that they have an "elevated systolic blood pressure," which is already known to be an important clinical finding requiring treatment.
