Harvard A new study by researchers from Harvard Medical School suggests that eating low-fat dairy products could help fight high blood pressure. According to an article by Health Day reporter Amanda Gardner, scientists “aren’t clear where the beneficial effect comes from, but they said low-fat dairy might be a crucial component of a healthy diet.” The lead author of the study, published in the August issue of the journal Hypertension, is Dr. Luc Djousse, associate epidemiologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School in Boston.
