www.naturalfoods.com reports:

"Celery. A traditional Vietnamese remedy for high blood pressure. Celery
compounds reduce blood pressure in animals. Comparable human dose: two to four
stalks a day. Also has a mild diuretic effect. Contains eight different families
of anti-cancer compounds, such as phthalides and polyacetylenes, that detoxify
carcinogens, especially cigarette smoke. Eating celery before or after vigorous
exercise can induce mild to serious allergic reactions in some."
