Eating a diet rich in fats, particularly trans fats, can increase the risk for ischemic stroke in postmenopausal women, a new study has found.
Older women who consumed the most total fat, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats as well as trans and saturated fats, had a 40% higher incidence of ischemic stroke compared with those who ate the least amount of total fat, researchers found.

Of interest to those who wish to protect their Heart, which can also have an impact as a Diabetic if you are concerned about diet and fats.
Extract:
While the study was on postmenopausal women, the findings probably aren't restricted to this population, he said. "You can be at risk for stroke at any age, so this is important not just for the postmenopausal women but for the younger woman, for the teenage woman, and for kids."
