Stroke Risk Driven By Diet Quality And Overeating, Rather Than Individual Nutrients

"A review published in the special strokeissue of The Lancet Neurology says that many of the numerous studies on stroke prevention have been based on unreliable evidence. The same applies to headlines that have highlighted potential benefits of specific nutrients and foods. According to researchers, the risk of stroke is more likely to be predicted by dietary patterns and excess energy intake, i.e. overeating."
