Vegetarians are often health conscious, so it may come as a surprise that a study released in the British Medical Journal this week found vegetarians have a 20% higher risk of stroke than people who eat meat.
"Plant-based diets have been on the rise for quite some time. They lower circulating blood lipids, hypertension and diabetes across the board. These are fantastic selling points," said Maya Feller, a registered dietician, author and adjunct professor of nutrition at New York University, who was not associated with the study, in an interview with ABC News.
Dieticians caution that studies like this do not prove that the vegetarian diet causes higher stroke risk, just that the two are linked. "The vegetarian section included people who ate eggs. There is some research that including eggs in your diet increase the risk of stroke," said Mosquera.
