Ahhh... If only a bananna or 2 a day did cure HTN. I eat bannanas
regularly (I don't have HTN, Hypertension). But boy if it would replace
ACE inhibitors and beta-blockers, that would really be nice...
I'd love to give everyone some freaking flax seds and a bannana and
cure someone... Idiopathic HTN is a real problem. The other is just
plain old obesity/years of junk food/high cholesterol/saturated
fats/arteriosclerosis.

Sorry ... no bannana or 2 is going to do anything....
