Would this be bad for people with type-2 diabetes?

“I have been drinking whey protein shakes...”

Has your blood pressure dropped? (if that is too personal, forget I asked)

I have mine once or twice a day. Add a banana and blue berries to the mix. Delicious.

Did they track which subjects actively exercised? Typically weightlifters consume whey as part of their standard diet. I can’t imagine just the whey lowered their blood pressure, good news if true but there is no substitute for exercise.

The study, which Fluegel did for her doctorate in nutritional biochemistry, notes that researchers in a 2007 study found no blood-pressure changes in people who took a whey-supplemented drink.

Health benefits aside, researchers are excited about the prospect of improving the market for whey, a cheese byproduct that often has to be disposed of at some expense.

Several supplement makers contributed product to the study, which was funded in part by the Washington Dairy Products Commission.

There's reason to be skeptical.

I drink two whey protein shakes per day (sam's club has the best price on a 5 lb bag btw)

My BP was high and but is now normal. Not sure if the whey helped. I did drop 60 lbs but my BP drop is also contributed to working out 6 days per week and eating clean.

The whey really helps to maintain muscle during dieting and helps build muscle when lifting...

So, I get the whey powder in a supermarket? Like in the supplements/health food section?

The reason I ask is that my doc says I have "pre-hypertention" - my BP consistently runs in the 130s over 85-95, and he really wants me to take medication. And I don't want to.

My 100 year old great aunt recently advised me that the key to her longevity was not taking pills - and eating chocolate every day.

Two questions. Are you overweight and do you currenty do any exercise program?

Generally supermarkets don't carry it. Sam's Club, Wal mart, and GNC have it.

Good stuff.

The combination of vitamin C and garlic oil does the same thing by causing the body to produce nitric oxide. Dropped both my upper and lower by nearly 20 points and I didn’t have high BP to begin with. Causes some vascular dialation but also rebuilds and cleans up arterial and vascular lining. Makes the lining slicker. Body builders take NOx tablets as it helps the blood supply to the stressed muscle tissue resulting in quicker recovery.

The studies I have seen were based on 2,000 mg of both C and garlic but I take 1,000mg C and 1,500 garlic at the same time and it definitely works.
