Dr. Rick Johnson, Prof. of Nephrology (kidney) at U. of Colorado, on a Peter Attia podcast, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V02z9mqTWzg&t=6856s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V02z9mqTWzg&t=6856s , states that high blood pressure is an inflammatory kidney disease. What causes the inflammation? There are several causes, including vaso-constrictive drugs like cocaine, but one major cause is high uric acid due to high fructose (caused by high fructose dietary intake or high sodium intake, which over a long enough time, will cause the body to convert glucose to fructose, which then goes along the high fructose dietary intake path)
