News about blood pressure drugs, monitoring

Joe and Terry Graedon of The People's Pharmacy shined a light recently on two pieces of news regarding blood pressure medicines and monitoring.

Anyone taking anti-hypertensive drugs or monitoring blood pressure at home might be interested in reading these items.

The first is about accumulating research which suggests that popular blood pressure drugs increase the risk for serious cancers.

The second discusses research that demonstrates the benefit of home monitoring of blood pressure.

"The first is about accumulating research which suggests that popular blood pressure drugs increase the risk for serious cancers."

This is B.S. The link leads to nothing more than a series of linked scare articles by the so-called "People's Pharmacy". They're famous for trying to engender panic among people who take various drugs to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
