I read a column about him and that ‘low fat’ research a few years ago. Specifically how he had to cherry pick the nations he used in his final tabulations.

When I was a kid, in the 1970’s, high blood pressure medication was something your grandparents took. People in their late 50’s+. Now there are hordes of THIRTY something’s on bp meds. Geeze. My hubby is the ONLY one of his forty something year old coworkers who is NOT on bp meds. We low carb for the most part. Just sayin’.

Indeed. Keys, I believe, did a 17 nation study and threw out the results from ten since they did not come out the way he wanted them to.

With HTN, there are a few of us who believe that it is the reversed K/Na ratio that we ingest now that is reversed BIG time from our paleo ancestors.
