Consumption of ‘good salt’ can reduce population blood pressure levels, research finds

An increased intake of ‘good’ potassium salts could contribute significantly to improving blood pressure at the population level, according to new research. The favorable effect brought about by potassium is even estimated to be comparable with the blood pressure reduction achievable by halving the intake of ‘bad’ sodium salts (mostly from table salt).
