Hypertension - what is the lesser of two evils, something high in sugar or high in saturated fat? -

On a one time basis neither. As long as you have hypertension only, continuing with sugar would be the lessor.... until diabetes starts.

i would go in high saturated fat, becuase a lot of medicine for that whereas high in sugar can lead to diabetes which is more worse case. a lot of complication that may arise when you have high sugar. Moderation on diet will contol all of these.goodluck
