i heard sea salt lowers blood pressure anybody had any sucess with it ???????????????????????????????????????? ?????

marky,

There is no conceivable reason that sea salt would behave any differently from regular salt with regards to blood pressure.

I always understood that sea salt contains just as much sodium as regular table salt, so after reading your question, I did a search and there are articles that claim sea salt will lower blood pressure - because unlike regular table salt, sea salt contains magnesium and potassium, both of which can lower blood pressure.

Of course these were sites that are trying to sell you something :rolleyes: .

I wouldn't think that the amount of magnesium and potassium would be enough to make a difference for the amount of salt you'd use.

I switched to sea salt and tested my system by putting sea salt on everything I ate. My BP went up more than 5 points. I now just use sea salt on mainly tator tots or french fries. I do know that sea salt taste alot better than regular salt. Magnesium and potasium suplements will lower your BP but not in sea salt........................:-)

There are FAR better ways to supplement magnesium and potassium than by getting teeny amounts of them with 50 times as much sodium chloride (sea salt is 98% salt!)
