In the study, obese patients consuming a high saturated fat diet increased daily sodium intake from less than 2 grams a day to more than 20 grams a day. But they also lost an average of 5.5 kg-or about 5% of their total body weight-in six weeks.

"At the same time there were dramatic and significant reductions in fasting insulin and in mean arterial pressure," reported James H. Hays, M.D., of the Christiana Care Health Services in Newark, Del., at the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists meeting here today.
