(why)Haemorrhagic strokes are the least common type and occur when a weakened blood vessel supplying the brain ruptures and causes brain damage.

(how)Researchers not only found that vitamin E increased the risk of this kind of stroke but also found that vitamin E could actually cut the risk of ischaemic strokes - the most common type of stroke.
