ACC: Salt Substitute Cuts Systolic Blood Pressure - CME Teaching Brief - MedPage Today: "# Explain to interested patients that a salt substitute consisting of sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and magnesium sulfate in a roughly 3:2:1 ratio can lower systolic blood pressure by 5.4 mm Hg without affecting diastolic pressure in a population with a very high-sodium diet.
# Be aware that most sodium in the typical American diet comes from processed foods, and cannot easily be substituted with healthier alternatives.
# This study was published as an abstract and presented orally at a conference. These data and conclusions should be considered to be preliminary as they have not yet been reviewed and published in a peer-reviewed publication."
