this is why we have more focus on fruit chaat or chana chaat(yogurt) and occasionally the pakoras and/or samosas.

That is a beautiful thing. Finally some one started sharing data OF public interest WITH public.
Up till now these things were spoken as myths.

I am not sure if only eating oily stuff is the reason behind this huge hike. I mean 30% is huge. Either the stats are wrong or there must be other reasons one of them could be an overall deteriorating health of general public so when they go for fasting during hot summer days, the issues pop up which remain hidden in rest of the days.

there is a recent study out in the U.S. and the results of which shocked the world. according to the study, done on 68,000 patients, suggests the the bad cholesterol [LDL] is NOT responsible for heart attacks. the study sites a good chunk of those people who had the heart attack had normal cholesterol levels.

however, the study results have been criticised by British Heart Association which points out to a small group of patients that were studied and the conclusions are against the established studies that tell the most single factor in patients getting heart attacks is an elevated level of cholesterol.

Why blame this on Ramzan?
These sorts of illnesses and occurrences do not happen because someone eats pakoray 10 days in a row. The causes are usually much more long term than that.
A general lack of concern for diet and exercise and a genetic predisposition towards cardiopulmonary issues is much more likely the culprit here.

Haven't read the article, but is it implying that heart attacks increased in Ramadan because of pakoray and samosay eating? Cause that conclusion would be hilarious

People having high blood pressure, eating pakoras and smosas can increase their blood pressure to serious level increasing chances of heart attack.
