A positive effect on blood pressure, but no one should get too excited... not much of a reduction.

I've read the study (and others) and while a statistically significant reduction was observed, the effect size was very small (i.e. the reduction in blood pressure was rather trivial, only 4.5 to 5 mm Hg)
