HOW B-VITAMINS MAY PREVENT STROKE-STUDY

The head of stroke research at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, James F. Toole, says the real culprit behind stroke is HOMOCYSTEINE, not cholesterol. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the USA and is a major cause of disability. Whats more, stroke prevention may be as simple as taking three, B-VITAMINS involved with Homosystein's metabolism.
He is coordinating a large international clinical trial with 57 institutions in North America and Scotland. Since 1997, the VITAMIN INTERVENTION FOR STROKE PREVENTION (VISP) trial has involved 3,200 participants with high blood levels of HOMOCYSTEINE, who are being given high or low doses of Vitamin B-12,B-6 and Folic Acid
