Got milk? Fat-free milk may offer protection against high blood pressure, according a study published in March 2008 issue of Hypertension, a journal of the American Heart Association journal.

Examining the diets of nearly 30,000 women who were middle-aged or older, Harvard researchers found that women who consumed more low-fat milk and milk products, and had diets higher in calcium and vitamin D from foods (and not from supplements), tended to have a lower risk for developing hypertension. When researchers zeroed in on the benefits of milk specifically, they found that women who drank two or more servings of fat-free milk each day reduced their risk for high blood pressure by up to 10 percent, compared with those who drank fat-free milk less than once a month. They noted, however, that the same correlation was not found for higher fat milk and milk products, or in women who took calcium and vitamin D supplements. ::Eurekalert
