Wow.....a person's risk of a stroke is associated with how many fast-foods restaurants are around them.....its not the cause.....but the risk is higher.....Researchers led by Dr. Lewis B. Morgenstern at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor counted 1,247 strokes caused by blood clots in 64 census tracts in Nueces County, Texas, which includes Corpus Christi, from January 2000 through June 2003.....
Certain neighborhoods with a high percentage of fast-foods increased 6% in stroke, compared to neighborhoods with a low percentage of fast-food restaurants.....
