Magnesium and the Risk of Stroke
Magnesium is found in bones, body tissues, organs and
our blood. This important mineral is essential for many
body processes such as maintaining muscle, nerve and
immune system functions, bone strength, proper heart
rhythm, regulating blood sugar and blood pressure, metab
olizing glucose for energy, and building proteins.
Magnesium consumption has been associated with lower
blood pressure in some studies, but not in others.
Since high blood pressure and smoking are risk factors for
the development of stroke, magnesium consumption was
recently evaluated for its effect on lowering the risk of
stroke among men from Finland who smoke. Over an aver
age of 13 years, the men who consumed more magnesium
had a significantly lower risk of developing a stroke com
pared to men who consumed less. Consumption was based
on dietary intake from food sources. It is unclear if magne
sium intake from dietary supplements lowers the risk of
stroke. Future studies are needed to address this issue.
Magnesium can be found in foods such as green vegetables,
beans, peas, nuts, seeds and whole grains.
Students are on spring break this
week. (Photo/Will Davis)

An article on page 6A of the March 26 Reporter, “No booze at Welcome Center,” should
have read that the city council rescinded a vote allowing alcohol at a social event at the
new Welcome Center because state law bars it within 100 yards of a church, not 1,000
feet. Also, the article incorrectly attributed to city attorney Bobby Melton that alcohol is not
allowed in government buildings. The Welcome Center is owned by the Downtown
Development Authority, not the city, said Melton. Also, the story paraphrased council mem
ber Lamar Russell as teasing that the Presbyterian Church, by being next door, was putting
a crimp on the Welcome Center. Actually, his joke was that “if it were near a Baptist church,
we wouldn’t mind.” We regret the errors. When mistakes are made, corrections are printed
in this space.
