Yellow Peas are that good?

Certain proteins found in the yellow garden pea appear to help lower blood pressure as well as delay, control or even, yes even, prevent the onset of chronic kidney disease, at least in rats, a Canadian study is suggesting; a news report on yahoo health recently covered.

This animal model lools promising. Yellow peas dont hurt, at least we know that!

The lead investigator in the study, Rotimi E. Aluko, an associate professor in the department of human nutritional sciences at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg "What we seem to have here is sort of a natural approach to treating this disease, as opposed to the normal pharmacological approach...We're talking about an edible product, not a drug, which can help to reduce blood pressure and, at the same time, reduce the severely negative impact of kidney disease"

Kidney disease affects 13 percent of American adults and is very difficult to treat adequately, with most people developing cardiovascular complications from high blood pressure linked to kidney malfunction.

So, in essence, eat your peas, uh, that is the yellow ones (I prefer green).
