Fish consumption is not significantly associated with the risk of hemorrhagic stroke.
Unlike ischemic stroke, there is no significant link between how much fish you eat and your risk of hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding in the brain). This suggests that eating fish is safe for this specific type of stroke risk, as the protective effects likely balance any potential bleeding risks from omega-3s.
