I've heard that in Japanese fishing communities that
consume a lot of fish, and consequently fish oil, the
prevalence of thrombotic stroke is lower than average
but that of hemorrhagic stroke is higher. So I think
there's probably some trade-off, but in many countries
today the risk of thrombotic stroke is much higher so
it's probably a good gamble to go more to the side of
hemorrhage.
