the mixture is simmered for ten minutes. Then the mixture is tossed with shredded
lettuce, chopped tomato and avocado, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green oruon.

at the O H S U , the articles report the
results o f two recently completed

between dietary calcium deficiency
and hypertension.

“ Our data indicate that in d iv i
duals with hypertension may ingest
less calcium than norm o-tensive
(those with normal blood pressure]
subjects,” D r. M c C a rro n said.
" T h e im p licatio n s, in terms o f
health care, are sub stan tial. This
opens some very im p o rtan t issues
that need to be resolved.”

Dr. M cCarron’s study population
was composed of 46 individuals who
were identified as hypertensive and
a control group o f 44 normotensive
volunteers. Random recalls o f the
subjects* diets for the previous 24
hours were evaluated by means o f a
com puter-facilitated dietary analy
sis program developed at the O H SU
School o f Dentistry.

The results showed that calcium
consumption— most commonly ac
quired from dairy products— was
significantly higher in the no rm o
tensive control group than in the
group composed o f hypertensive in
dividuals. Further, only eight o f the
46 hypertensive subjects reported
consum ption o f m ore than one
gram of calcium per day while 18 of
the 44 normotensive subjects con
sumed more than one gram , D r.
McCarron said.

Research into the causes o f hyper
tension has focused primarily on ex
cessive levels of dietary sodium and
has v irtu a lly ignored the role cal
cium plays, according to D r.
M cC arron. His study does not dis
pute the fact that hypertensive per
sons should lower th e ir in take o f
salt. But, he said, there is no real
proof that persons who are not hy
pertensive should place salt any
higher on their list o f worries than
obesity, genetic predisposition or
calcium deficiency.

“ W itnin most societies,” Dr. M c
C arron said, “ there is no dem on
strable difference between sodium
intake o f subjects with hypertension
and subjects who remain normoten
sive. Although hypertension in some
societies appears to be associated
with the level o f sodium in the diet,
there are other cultures that have a
rem arkably low prevalence o f hy
pertension in spite o f high sodium
intake.”
In support o f his research, D r.
M c C a rro n has noted that A m e ri
cans have not changed the level o f
their salt consum ption in the past
60 years but they are consuming less
calcium. Also, D r. M cC arro n ’s ex
periments with laboratory animals
have shown that the level o f dietary
calcium “ is an im portant factor in
determining what happens to labor
atory animals that have high blood
pressure. Adding extra calcium to
the anim al’ s diets reverses the hy
pertension."
D r. M c C a rro n ’s research is sup
ported by grants from the American
Heart Association, the National In
stitutes o f H e a lth , the N a tio n a l
Dairy Council and several pharma
ceutical companies.
