Fried Fish May Explain 'Stroke Belt' Mystery

Too much fried fish may contribute to the high rate of stroke in America's "stroke belt," according to a new study.

The results showed that people living in the stroke belt - including residents of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas and Louisiana - were about 30 percent more likely to eat two or more servings of fried fish every week than those living in the rest of the country, the researchers said.

And blacks who are known to have an increased risk of stroke regardless of where they live, were more than 3.5 times more likely to eat two or more servings of fried fish per week than whites.

:censored:  You better find a catfish restaurant stat.

Fried catfish is heaven on a plate.  It ain't cod, haddock, pollock, tilapia, or "whitefish".  It is mana, deep-fried and served with a side of hush puppies.
