Taking folic acid supplements reduces the risk of stroke but could worsen heart disease in those who are vulnerable.

Folic acid supplements 'cut stroke risk' - Guardian

Extract:

"Taking folic acid supplements reduces the risk of stroke by 18%, according to a large study published in today's Lancet.

The findings also suggest that mandatory fortification of flour, currently being considered by health officials in England, could reduce death rates from strokes.

Hopes of such a dramatic impact in reducing the 110,000 strokes diagnosed every year in the UK are tempered by warnings that supplementation could also worsen heart disease in those who are vulnerable."

The completely SAFE way to reduce your risk of stroke AND your risk of developing heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol and many other degenerative conditions is to reduce your intake of salt and salty food. - The less salt/sodium you eat, the better for your health.

And if you feel you need to lose weight, then please give up dieting! - All you need to do to lose some excess weight is to eat less salt and to continue with low salt intake for the rest of your life.

Lose weight by eating less salt! Go on! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!
