    High blood pressure is called the "silent killer," and under new guidelines today from the American Heart Association, nearly half of Americans have it. @DrLaPook has more now about the leading cause of heart disease.pic.twitter.com/NTLVLYmp0l

        Of course the number of this diagnosed is higher. When you keep changing the parameters to include more people, that will happen. Sorry, but 130/80 is not high.

        Just like with diabetes, anyone with a blood pressure will soon be labeled as hypertensive. God forbid you should have a blood sugar greater than 90......omg, diabetes!

        They wanted 120/70, but there was such an outcry, they had to raise it. Still hooks tens of millions into BP medications. Doctors fear being sued if someone has a heart attack, so they will prescribe them. ANOTHER BIG PHARMA/AHA SCAM!!

        Is it any wonder? Everything we eat has massive amounts of sodium in it. The US poisons our food in the name of convience.
