Abstract

In cross-sectional and intervention studies, low-fat dairy has proven to be effective in lowering blood pressure in a hypertensive population. Contributing mechanisms include the angiotensin-converting enzyme-inhibiting effects of peptides and possible interplay between calcium and vitamin D. Easily added to the diet, low-fat dairy is an attractive addition to nutritional, lifestyle, and pharmacological interventions to treat hypertension.
