In 1980 the diets of 85764 women in the Nurses' Health consideration (who were then 35-59 years of age) were reviewed, and followed up upon in 1994. In this research by Meir Stampfer, and colleagues, which appeared in the journal, Circulation, women with high offspring pressure (hypertension), low intake of saturated fat and animal protein were associated with an increased risk of a image of stroke (intraparenchymal hemorrhage) caused by the agency of uncontrolled bleeding in the brain. These women had a risk of hemorrhagic hit 3.7 times higher than did those women with a higher saturated fat intake, although this did not apply to vegetable seed-oil-based trans fats (like traditional margarine). Take-home message: Don't eat more saturated fat, unless consume a balance of fats, with sufficient flushs of good fats, including sources of monounsaturated fats (like olive oil) and sources of polyunsaturated omega-3 fats (like flax and DHA).
