A major study has said that vegan and vegetarian diets can reduce the risk of heart disease but also increase the risk of heart stroke. The research, which was published in the British Medical Journal, studied 48,000 people for about 18 years. The vegans and vegetarians had 10 fewer cases of heart disease for every 1,000 people when they compared it with people who eat meat, but they also carried three more cases of heart stroke.
