Beetroot 'can lower blood pressure'

[AlisonM]

Drinking a cup of beetroot juice can lower blood pressure, researchers say.

Drinking 250ml (8oz) cut high blood pressure readings by 10mm of mercury (mmHg) in a study of 15 patients, bringing some into the normal range, the journal Hypertension reports.

Umm, yeuch! I'm so glad I don't have high BP. But if I did I suppose it might be worth a try.
