High stroke rates linked to fried fish consumption. Published online in the medical journal Neurology, a new study by scientists at Emory University in Georgia, USA evaluates the dietary habits of more than 21,000 people living in a US region known as “Stroke Valley,” noted for its high prevalence of stroke incidents. The researchers found that people living in this area, who were 30% more likely to eat 2 or more servings of fried fish every week, were also 20% more likely to succumb to stroke than those in other states. Furthermore, the inhabitants of the area known as the “Stroke Buckle,” located within the Stroke Belt, were 40% more likely to die from stroke. The study also found that US residents of African descent, who are known to have increased stroke risk, consumed 3.5 times the fried fish of their European-descent counterparts.

Our thanks, Emory University researchers for revealing this link between fried fish consumption and elevated risk of often-fatal strokes. May more and more people be spared such preventable conditions as we turn to vegan fare for optimal health and well-being.
