Proved: soda brings to stroke

Causing ischemic attacks, stroke, seriously damages the brain cells, limiting the ability of a person and even lead to death. Contrary to the belief that stroke often overtakes men, women, the disease claim more lives than breast cancer.

One of the risk factors for stroke is the regular consumption of carbonated beverages. This conclusion was made by Japanese researchers from Osaka University. Their observations, which lasted 19 years, showed that women who daily drink at least one glass of soda, 83% more likely to suffer an ischemic stroke, compared with those who did not drink it. Audience research included 40,000 women aged 40-59 years. Their indicators of health and well-being daily recorded by scientists. For the duration of the experience of the two thousand of its participants had a stroke.

In contrast to the fairer sex, men were more resistant to the harmful effects of sugary pops. Scientists note that the men of this relationship hemorrhagic stroke or heart disease as women who are not observed. Although this does not mean that men can safely drink carbonated beverages in any amount, experts have warned women especially - they should avoid absolutely all kinds of soda.

For reference:

The main causes of ischemic strokes are blood clots and emboli in vessels: in 85% of cases of ischemic stroke is due to the fact that a thrombus is detached and falls into the brain, blocking the blood flow. Risk factors for stroke in men and women, mainly, are the same - it is the presence of a family history of stroke, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, cardio-vascular system, elevated red blood cell count. However, there are specific "female" risks. For example, the risk of stroke increases with an increase in blood pressure during pregnancy. Young women suffering from migraine, and taking oral contraceptives, also at high risk.
