Ökad risk av Stroke bland (lchf) Inuiter?
Har sett flera referenser till Vilhjalmur Stefansson och hans studier/erfarenhet av låg kolhydrat kost bland Inuiter för nästan 100 år sedan i lchf källor.
Igår läste jag: "However, hunters like the Inuits, who traditionally obtain most of their dietary energy from wild animals and therefore eat a low-carbohydrate diet,[7] seem to have a high mortality from stroke.[8]"
Kollade up referensen till den studien, och läste följande:

BACKGROUND: The notion that the incidence of ischemic heart disease (IHD) is low among the Inuit subsisting on a traditional marine diet has attained axiomatic status. The scientific evidence for this is weak and rests on early clinical evidence and uncertain mortality statistics. METHODS: We reviewed the literature and performed new analyses of the mortality statistics from Greenland, Canada, and Alaska. FINDINGS: The evidence for a low mortality from IHD among the Inuit is fragile and rests on unreliable mortality statistics. Mortality from stroke, however, is higher among the Inuit than among other western populations. Based on the examination of 15 candidate gene polymorphisms, the Inuit genetic architecture does not obviously explain putative differences in cardiovascular disease prevalence. INTERPRETATION: The mortality from all cardiovascular diseases combined is not lower among the Inuit than in white comparison populations. If the mortality from IHD is low, it seems not to be associated with a low prevalence of general atherosclerosis. A decreasing trend in mortality from IHD in Inuit populations undergoing rapid westernization supports the need for a critical rethinking of cardiovascular epidemiology among the Inuit and the role of a marine diet in this population.
Dvs, att hjärt och kärlsjukdomer bland Inuiter (med en lchf kost) är INTE lägre än i västvärlden, och dessutom har dem högre siffrorna när det gäller stroke.
Ja herre jisses! Hur ska man kunna veta när buden och åsikterna är så många och olika :'(
Inte lätt för en vanlig människa :@
