Fox News
New research has found that diets with fat from vegetable sources instead of from meat are associated with a lower risk of stroke, according to reports.
According to NBC News, the study's authors said Monday that people who ate the most vegetable and polyunsaturated fats were 12% less likely to have ischemic strokes in comparison with those who ate the least. Participants who ate the most animal fat – excluding dairy fat – were 16% more likely to have strokes than those who ate the least.
Dairy fat was not connected with increased risk. The findings, which have yet to be published in a peer-reviewed journal, are being presented at the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions 2021, according to HealthDay News.
