In the U.S., heart disease is the #1 cause of death, with over 647K deaths a year.
By comparison, stroke is #5, with about 146K deaths/year.
These stats are for the U.S. in the year 2017, and they come from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention:

Could these higher levels of vitamin K contribute to blood clots? That was my immediate thought when I first heard about this. Maybe some are overdoing it on their greens intake...more is not necessarily better. Thoughts?
