Dr David McCarron

Dr David McCarron is one of the world’s leading experts on the effects of nutrition on hypertension. He has been involved with an analysis of survey data on blood pressure and nutrient intake from more than 20,000 adults in National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys in the US over the past 20 years. It confirms that it is mineral deficiency rather than sodium intake that is the main influencer in high blood pressure.

Dr McCarron presented these findings at a recent London nutrition conference, where he also called for a health outcomes study to determine whether salt intake had any long-term effect on our health.
