Study says cholesterol do not cause stroke

There is a considerable amount of controversy surrounding the issue of saturated fats, cholesterol and cardiovascular diseases these days. Of course, it appears that the cholesterol itself is a predictor of heart disease developed.

And, just to add this confusing mixture, a new study published in the journal Annals of Neurology suggests that dietary cholesterol has little or no reason to play a role in the development of ischaemic stroke.

Contractual advice States that one of the risk factors for ischemic stroke (when blood supply to the brain is blocked by the accumulation of fatty deposits in the blood vessels), high cholesterol levels.

14,000 men and women were followed for more than 30 years. Researchers have examined the relationship between cholesterol levels and risk of ischaemic stroke. They found no relation at all to women, and increased risk of stroke in men, unless the cholesterol levels were raised 9.0 mmol/l (348 mg/dl) or greater.

Levels of triglycerides and stroke risk
The researchers also examined the relationship between triglyceride levels and stroke risk and discovered that when triglyceride levels were higher than the risk of stroke were higher, too.

Thus, it is most closely connected border with triglycerides of cholesterol, but if higher levels can cause stroke are still unknown.

Interestingly, previous evidence has linked the triglycerides with an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Researchers concluded that,

Government guidelines recommend a diet lower in fat and high in carbohydrates, but if you avoid the intake of carbohydrates is beneficial for triglyceride levels, perhaps conventional diet advice needs a revamp--what I think?
