Is it true being vegan increases chance of stroke?
This claim was based on a single, very flawed study, and is only widely quoted because tabloid papers had a field day claiming that we’ll all die of stroke if we don’t eat enough cheeseburgers. The public ate it up without fact checking it as they always do with anything that disparages veganism - it was widely shared here on Tumblr of course.
In short, the answer is no, but you can find a thorough analysis of this from a medical professional here.
Study links particular kind of fat, not amount, to higher stroke risk
Study links particular kind of fat, not amount, to higher stroke risk
A new study finds that eating more animal fat is linked to a higher risk of stroke but the risk is significantly reduced if people get their fat from vegetable sources, even in larger amounts, NBC News reported on Monday. People who consumed mostly vegetable and polyunsaturated fats, such olive oil, were 12 percent less likely to have an ischemic stroke compared with those who ate a minimum…

Common Sugar Substitute Erythritol Linked to Brain Damage and Stroke Risk
Erythritol, the zero calorie sweetener flooding sugar free beverages and snacks, may carry serious risks for your brain and heart. New laboratory research reveals that even typical serving sizes found in commercially available diet drinks can damage the delicate cells lining brain blood vessels. The study found that erythritol triggers oxidative stress and disrupts critical functions that regulate blood flow and prevent clots in the brain. These changes occur at concentrations equivalent to what you might consume in a single artificially sweetened beverage. These findings add to growing concerns about erythritol safety, following earlier research linking the popular sugar substitute to higher rates of heart attacks and strokes. While the experiments were conducted on cells rather than people, they offer the first direct evidence of how erythritol might harm the brain's vascular system.
From a cardiology standpoint, GLP-1 medications have become another important tool that can be used to help lower future heart risk in the right patients.
Popular Sweetener Erythritol Linked to Brain Vessel Damage
Erythritol has become a popular sugar substitute thanks to its low-calorie content and minimal impact on blood sugar levels. Often found in “keto” products, protein bars, and diabetic-friendly treats, it provides a sweet taste without the calorie load of traditional sugar. Erythritol is naturally present in some fruits and is also produced in small amounts by our bodies. Its appeal lies in being…
