Dietary sugar intake causes high blood pressure in adults.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that dietary sugar intake causes high blood pressure in adults?

Partly. One cross-sectional study of 128 older women found added-sugar intake associated with higher blood pressure, and a nutrition text and a narrative review also link added sugar to blood pressure, though the review notes the evidence is clearest for sugar-sweetened beverages and weaker for solid added sugars. A general reference on high blood pressure causes lists salt, inactivity, weight and alcohol but not sugar, so the causal claim is only partially supported and partly contradicted.
