Vitamin E Might increase the risk of some strikes

According to a study if Vitamin is taken then the risk of getting a particular type of stroke gets increased.

According to the British Medical Journal study, they have found out that out of every one thousand two hundred and fifty people there is a chance of getting one extra hemorrhagic stroke. 

About one hundred and nineteen thousand people were studied by researchers from France, Germany and the US.

But what level of vitamin E intake is harmful is yet to be found out.

The research was conducted in Boston’s Harvard Medical School as well as Paris’ INSERM.

Hemorrhagic strokes are not very common type and occur with the rupture of an weakened blood vessel that supply blood to the brain thus causing brain damage.

According to researchers the probability of stroke gets increased by twenty two percent by taking vitamin E.

However the research also stated that intake of vitamin E reduces the chances of Ischemic stroke by ten percent which is the most common type.

Almost seventy percent of all strokes are ischemic and it occurs when any blood clot prevents blood from flowing to the brain.

According to experts very one out of four hundred and seventy six people taking vitamin E can be prevented from ischemic stroke.

But the researchers have also stated that rather than taking vitamin E one should lead a healthy lifestyle, maintaining low cholesterol and low blood pressure that reduces the chance of ischemic stroke more.

In the United Kingdom more than eleven Thousand people in one year suffer from stroke and they are the number three in causing death.

Even those who survive the stroke live with disability most often. None of the studies however suggested that intake of vitamin E increased the chances of total stroke.
