Traditional Southern diet, stroke may be linked, researcher says Feb 11th 2013, 11:20 Traditional Southern diets may be linked to a higher risk of stroke, a researcher said at a conference on Thursday. The lead researcher, Suzanne Judd, a nutritional epidemiologist at the University of Alabama, said her study is the first large-scale effort to look at stroke and a diet of such foods as fried chicken and fish, bacon, ham and sweet teas.  "Fatty foods are high in cholesterol, sugary drinks are linked to diabetes and salty foods lead to high blood pressure," Judd said in a statement. Those are all factors in the risk of cardiovascular disease.
