Experts cautioned, however, that most U.S. consumers would have difficulty taking advantage of the results unless the makers of processed foods changed their practices.The results were based on a comprehensive evaluation of 412 volunteers, half of whom ate a typical U.S. diet and half who consumed mostly fruits, vegetables and low-fat products — a diet already found to lower blood pressure.At the same time, researchers, led by Dr. Frank Sacks had volunteers consume one of three different levels of salt. The patients stuck with each diet for 30 days, then switched to a diet with a different salt content. The team found those who consumed 3 grams of salt a day instead of the 9 grams in a typical diet were able to lower their systolic blood pressure — the higher number in a blood pressure reading — by nearly seven points if they were on a regular diet and by three points if they ate the healthier diet.
