A study says, taking vitamin E could slightly increase the risk of a particular type of stroke. The British Medical Journal study found that for every 1,250 people there is the chance of one extra haemorrhagic stroke – bleeding in the brain. Researchers from France, Germany and the US studied nine previous trials and nearly ONE LAKH 20,000 people. The study also found that vitamin E could actually cut the risk of ischaemic strokes – the most common type of stroke – by 10 percent. Ischaemic strokes account for 70 percent of all cases and happen when a blood clot prevents blood reaching the brain. Experts found vitamin E could cut the risk, equivalent to one ischaemic stroke prevented per 476 people taking the vitamin.
