The Claim
Salt substitutes have consistent blood pressure-lowering effects across different age groups, sexes, baseline blood pressure levels, and geographic regions.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Using salt substitutes helps lower blood pressure in pretty much everyone—no matter how old they are, whether they're male or female, how high their blood pressure started, or where they live.
