I have often wished I had known in advance of impending EU bans.

Notice in local garden centre states sale of Sodium Chlorate is
being banned by EU from Sept 2009.

Hope that is useful info.

Fortunately sodium choride does a similar job.

I'm surprised that that isn't banned too, on account of it
allegedly causing hypertension.

A low salt diet is far worse than a high salt diet. FUD again.



Evidence?..

No, Dave, that isn't evidence.


You would have to read it of course.




I think I'd take more notice of a proper clinical trail tho..

Not that I'm 'agin any alternatives though. For instance there has been
a decent bit of research into alternative, shall we say "natural
therapies" for arthritis, which was commissioned by the arthritis
research campaign its here if its any use to anyone.

I've for instance noticed that rose hips help my condition a bit..

FWIW if there was anything similar for hypertension then I'd be
interested but over time I've found that smaller amounts of different
drugs do have better benefits ..
