Aspirin counteracts the effects of trans fat

Aspirin may be resistant to trans-fat trans fat that causes stroke risk in older women.

This is the result of research by scientists from the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill published on March 1 in the Annals of Neurology.

Foods for older women contain most trans fat, making them more likely to have an ischemic stroke than others.

However, the risk of stroke from trans-fat in women taking Aspirin is much lower.

Regular aspirin use can counteract the effects
The bad effects of fatty acids pose a risk of stroke in women.

Scientists studied 87,025 menopausal women, aged 50-79, who had the diet with the highest amount of trans-fat fatty acids (39%).

The results showed that the risk of ischemic stroke in these women was (66%) much higher than women who absorbed the least amount of trans-fat.

However, it is worth mentioning that among women who have been taking aspirin for a long time, scientists have not found an association between absorption of trans-fat and the risk of stroke. Obviously, regular use of aspirin may counteract the negative effects of fatty acids that cause stroke risk in women.

Doctor of the Epidemiology Department Sirin Yaemsiri from UNC School of Public Health shared: "Our new discovery has an important role in limiting the amount of fatty acids that should be available in the diet and aspirin use. for the treatment of stroke in women, especially women in menopause, which has a high risk of ischemic stroke ".

"Trans-fat" fatty acids are often created during food production and are found in high-fat processed foods including mixed cakes, fast food, baked foods (like donuts, pastries and pies), cookies, chips and cereals.
