Eating lots of red meat ups the likelihood of having a stroke while poultry lowers it, according to a new study. Men who ate more than two servings of red meat each day — which was at the high end of the meat eaters — had a 28 percent increased risk of stroke compared to men who averaged about a third of a serving of red meat each day, the low end of the red meat eaters.
