Setting The Table For Stroke, The Southern Fried Way

Southern Diet Sends Stroke Risk Soaring by Nick Wasson, M.D.  ABC News.  February 7, 2013.

The study by University of Alabama researchers indicated, among other things, that people who regularly eat a traditional southern diet (fried foods, organ meat, sweet tea, etc) had a 41 increase in the risk of stroke.  For Africa-Americans the risk increased by 63%.  Some foods in the southern diet are good, such as collar greens.  Adding a few more healthy options could result in a substantial reduction in risk.
