Gregory Chandler-Milk for Hypertension Relief

I have posted recently about hypertension. In one study, 352 adults with hypertension of 120-159/80-95mmHg took 40 grams per day of soy protein, milk protein or a carbohydrate placebo, in three 8-week cycles, with three week's rest in between each phase.

Researchers measured blood pressure twice at the start and end of each phase and found, compared to placebo, systolic blood pressure was 2.0mmHg lower during the soy protein phase, and 2.3 mmHg lower during the milk protein phase.

The conclusion is that milk gives hypertension relief.
