title: Diet and hypertension: critical concepts and controversies.
abstract: Diet, alcohol consumption and physical activity stand out as the major influences on blood pressure levels and hypertension. Many studies on the effects of different nutrients on blood pressure have been confounded by methodological problems, but a careful appraisal of these problems leads to new concepts in interpreting the literature, and allows some interesting conclusions to be drawn.
