Test trials were performed in two U.S. cities. High blood pressure kills slowly, usually in concert with high cholesterol levels. The cholesterol contributes to the blocking and hardening of the arteries, and the heart ends up working harder and harder to pump blood through the body. This make the heart grow in size - if left untreated, the heart will become too large to work efficiently, and will eventually fail. It's called a heart attack, and it's caused by the heart's inability to feed its own muscle tissue with oxygen.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.
It kills hundreds of thousands of people every year. That's why it's important that we control our high blood pressure and cholesterol. Doritos normally have a significant amount of saturated fat in them - though not as much as regular potato chips. However, whenever I eat Doritos I have pangs of guilt. I know I shouldn't eat them, but I do anyway.
