Ischemic Stroke, Brain Attack


Diabetes mellitus patients have been noted to have lower vitamin D levels and are at a higher risk of stroke than non-diabetics. A retrospective analysis showed that patients with diabetes mellitus have a very low 25-hydroxy vitamin D level, and also found that high levels of triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, and HbA1C had a consistent association with vitamin D deficiency in type 2 diabetes patients (35).

Wine consumption and cardiovascular disease risk:

A study done in Copenhagen, Denmark followed 6051 men and 7234 women between 30 and 70 years old. The relative risk of cerebrovascular mortality was significantly less for those who had a low to moderate intake of wine. It was found that beer intake did not change mortality risk much and that drinking spirits increased mortality. (36)
