What if we could switch the salt to reduce blood pressure? - Bitesize

View descriptionShare

While we know that eating too much salt is bad for our health, many are unaware it’s a leading cause of high blood pressure. But changing habits - and the food supply - can be challenging. What if we could switch the salt to a substitute with lower sodium and additional benefits?


In this episode we discuss a novel approach to reducing blood pressure. Featuring Alta Schutte, Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at the UNSW Sydney and The George Institute for Global Health and Bruce Neal, Executive Director of the George Institute for Global Health, and Professor of Medicine at UNSW Sydney. Bruce is a UK trained physician with over 25 years’ experience in clinical research with a focus on high blood pressure and salt.
