They are the same thing, really, caused by a buildup of animal fat blocking up one or more arteries. If one never consumes animal fat, they can never have a heart attack or stroke. That's a huge health benefit.
This isn't true. Strokes and heart attacks are absolutely not the same thing; one has to do with the heart and the other, the brain. Vegetarians and vegans might have lower risk for stroke or heart attack, but they can absolutely have either.
