<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi, I recently read a book entitled: CAN A GLUTEN-FREE DIET HELP? I think the author's name is Dr. Rosenvold. He stated that a study was done in the 1930's where a group with high blood pressure was put on a g-f diet. The whole group experienced a reduction in bp. At almost the same time, the first really effective medication for reducing bp was put on the market. The study was soon forgotten, and patients were given a magic pill to help high bp. Taking a pill is a lot easier than following a g-f diet. Best Wishes, Ron Hoggan
