[Is it a weird German sex thing?] -> [Yes] -> [The reason lies in German leftism during either the '68s or the GDR.] I wish I was being sarcastical with that one.

zoux posted:My blood pressure is fine and also the link between sodium and hypertension is extremely tenuous. It isn't tenuous, the thing is that some people have very low susceptibility to high sodium leading to hypertension, and other people have very high susceptibility. It appears to be the result of one group being better than the other at excreting out the salt. As a result, it's always worth trying restricted sodium intake if you do have hypertension to see whether you're sensitive to it; but if it doesn't work than your hypertension is being caused by something else that needs to be fixed.

In Amsterdam it was the history of porn, vintage erotica, antique sex toys, and the like. In Berlin--for one thing, there was a bar attached, and buying a museum ticket got you a free Carlsberg, and for another, the museum was a few racks of antique and vintage stuff and then a series of multimedia displays showing, with projected 3d animations, detailed diagrams, and helpful narration, how the deed is done.

But that such a thing isn't possible to happen in most people.

Well the original basis for the sodium-HBP link came from the 70's where they did an animal study and found you could give rats HBP if you injected them with the equivalent of 600x a normal day's sodium intake. It's also a "common sense" argument where we say that salt causes you to retain fluids which ups your BP. Mortality studies of people with chronic conditions like HBP, diabetes, etc. actually found that people on low sodium diets had higher mortality rates than people with those same conditions but not on sodium restrictions. Basically, the role of sodium and blood pressure is highly controversial. quote:This week a meta-analysis of seven studies involving a total of 6,250 subjects in the American Journal of Hypertension found no strong evidence that cutting salt intake reduces the risk for heart attacks, strokes or death in people with normal or high blood pressure. In May European researchers publishing in the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that the less sodium that study subjects excreted in their urine—an excellent measure of prior consumption—the greater their risk was of dying from heart disease. These findings call into question the common wisdom that excess salt is bad for you, but the evidence linking salt to heart disease has always been tenuous. Basically if you have HBP (which again I don't!!) the best lifestyle thing to do is lose weight.

Actually no, again studies show that there isn't a relationship between smoking and chronic high blood pressure. Nicotine as a stimulant causes an acute rise in BP but after 20-30 minutes it goes back to normal. But yeah smoking is bad for you. I do smoke though.

Do we know how accurate these techniques are or is it like "eh, this is probably what it was but really who knows"
