Why this page doesn't claim "Banana works"
Whole foods almost never have RCTs — the evidence sits on the ingredients. So this page does one honest thing: it lists which graded ingredients Banana contains, how much, and how far that is from the studied dose. It makes no efficacy claim about Banana itself.
Bottom line: "Banana = high potassium" is actually overrated: one banana's potassium is only about 10% of the intake in blood-pressure studies, falling short of a therapeutic dose. It's a convenient everyday top-up, not a "blood-pressure food."
