"A high vitamin C intake was recently associated with lower blood pressure levels. We examined this association and compared it with that between blood pressure and fruit and vegetable intake among German adults..."

They examined the records of 1,628 women and 1,340 men between the ages of 18-79.

They found that blood pressure was reduced significantly with fruit and vegetable intake but not with vitamin C among women.

"Among men," they continued, "we did not observe significant associations between blood pressure and vitamin C and fruit and vegetable intakes." Emphasis added.
