Commenting on Sample Dash Menu
My blood pressure has been high the last few times i have taken it. I finally went to the doctor today and my pressure was 170/90. She had taken my pressure several different times throughout my visit and it was different each time,but still high. The doctor put me on some medicine for about 3 weeks and will return to see her. She gave me the DASH diet website to go to and it was very helpful. I printed out the Sample Dash diet and will try it out. This is all new to me and would like more sample diets i can try. Thanks Michelle Simmons. My email adddress is below.

Substitution to Reduce Sodium to 1,500 mg
I find the article on the DASH diet to be quite interesting and fairly informative. The one major point that needs to be addressed, in my opinion, is that mentioned in the subject above. I am a graduate chemist with an advanced degree in Biochemistry. It has come to my attention that there is a vast amount of research, both in this country and other areas of the world, which strongly indicates it is not the sodium in salt that is at the root high blood pressure, but the chloride. One may access much of this by simply searching for chloride as the cause of high blood pressure on the internet. If this is true then the popular substitution of other chloride containing chemicals in place of table salt is certainly counter productive.
Associated with the above is another thing that continues to bother me greatly. This the use of sodium and salt interchangeably in the literature on the subject of high blood pressure. "Table salt is Sodium Chloride not just Sodium!"
I hope this cause some discussion and possibly at least the use of the words Table Salt instead of just Sodium in articles discussing the problem of high blood pressure.
