   Eating garlic is one of the best ways to lower high blood pressure and protect yourself from cardiovascular disease. A new study from the UAB shows this protective effect is closely linked to how much hydrogen sulfide is produced from garlic compounds interacting with red blood cells. The researchers found this interaction triggered red blood cells to release H2S, which then led to the relaxation of blood vessels.

   09-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
   New Kaiser Permanente study in Journal of the National Cancer Institute shows that an under-used fecal occult blood test specific for human blood is a better screening test for colon cancer than the stool screening tests most frequently used - the unrehydrated guaiac test and the sensitive GT -- because it finds more polyps and cancers. This new FIT test may help improve colon cancer screening rates and may be a popular alternative to colonoscopies.

8. Specific antagonism lowers blood pressure
   08-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
   High blood pressure is associated with an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. A new study in the Journal of Clinical Investigation now shows that antagonists of a receptor known as EP1 reduce hypertension in mice and rats. The authors therefore suggest that targeting the PGE2 receptor EP1 might be a viable approach to treating hypertension.
