Dietary fats and the management of hypertension
The role of dietary fat in human hypertension has been of interest recently. Examples of two intervention studies are presented to demonstrate this effect. One study was conducted at Beltsville, MD, and the other at North Karelia, Finland. Healthy people served as subjects for the experiments and th...

The role of dietary fat in human hypertension has been of interest recently. Examples of two intervention studies are presented to demonstrate this effect.

During the intervention periods the percentage of energy from dietary fats was lowered while the polyunsaturated fatty acids were increased.
