I called it 17 years ago. There’s an old video (   • 40 Year Vegan Dies of a Heart Attack! Why?...  ) of me on YouTube (you can tell it’s from 2003 by both my cutting-edge use of advanced white board technology, and the fact that I had hair :) where I air my concerns about stroke risk in vegetarians and vegans. The good news is that I think there’s an easy fix.

This is the third in a 12-video series on stroke risk. Here are links to the rest of the videos:
