Guest guest Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 This was taken from a post on the VegScience List. 2 mmHg = .04 psi 5 mmHg = .10 psi Without doing the math, I think the atmospheric pressure varies more than this. ========================== Note the source ============================== Another Terrorist infiltrated organization, or has it always been that way? Few people know and understand the roots and purpose of the AMA. =========================================================================== " A reduction as small as 2 mmHg in the average American's systolic blood pressure could save more than 70,000 lives per year, " he added. " Epidemiological data suggest that if we could lower the average systolic blood pressure among Americans by 5 mmHg, we'd see a 14% drop in deaths from stroke, a 9% drop in heart disease deaths, and a 7% drop in overall mortality.
