Most studies investigating the relationship between protein intake and blood pressure suggest that higher dietary protein intake has favourable influences on blood pressure. The latest one was presented at the 4th International Conference on Preventive Cardiology (4th ICPC; June 29-July 3,1997, Montreal, Canada).
