Sensasionalistic garbage. Young, healthy people don't have strokes. Unless you're a dimwit who takes too many drugs, then I'd say you probably deserve it. Even scientific american has downgraded to putting out click baits now. Sad state of affairs.
Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) has been associated with strokes in young people. IDA doesn't necessarily have pronounced symptoms and a diagnosis with a blood sample is simple and cheap. It is often considered a "female disorder" but it's only slightly more common in females than males. tldr: Have your blood checked.

The vegan diet is a diet of deficiencies, and since none of them are particularly careful about what they eat, I worry that it is making them all worse off. Iron and B12 may be the most obvious, but also D3, calcium, zing, animal based nutrients like creatine, and I'm sure others.
Unfortunately, this becomes a touchy subject with them very quickly, and most of them believe "being vegan is healthier," but are uninterested in engaging with or supporting this claim.

I had IDA for over a year. My doctor tried to fix/ mask it with iron supplements, turns out was a coeliac. Which explains why I was constantly felt lethargic/ hung-over.
Pro tip: Don't trust everything your doctor says (new Dr suspected it and ordered tests straight away).
Sleep deprivation is known to cause strokes, take a look at how many millennials are expected to put in 80-100 hours for a 40 hour check , extreme high competition overtime just to hold onto their seat.
That, combined with MDMA or Adderall, is more likely to lead to epilepsy. Strokes have a stronger connection to diet and weight.
The interesting statistic was the urban regions were less pronounced than the suburbs, which may indicate something either cultural or economic that may drive this change.
Either way, it's unfortunate. We're living in the best possible time in history, and many millennials are being impacted by something which - in some cases - may be completely avoidable.

Various deficiencies are definitely a problem in my friend population, where many of them are vegans.

In other words, you should probably be just as worried about your non-vegan friends who eat too much meat, not enough leafy greens, not enough vitamins, etc.

Drugs in the amphetamine class do not cause epilepsy as far as I know. I would be very interested in a source, if you have one.

Iron and calcium are in plants, D is in fact added to milk, and can be added to a plant based diet via a pill as well if you don't synthesize enough. You are an animal; your body creates enough creatine (creatine production is in fact downregulated when you consume meat). B12 can also be added via a pill, and it is already added to many foods like cereal.
When you look deeper into the facts, you will see that the Standard American Diet faces far more deficiencies, the most obvious being fiber.

OK, ready to get out of my bubble. How true is this? The only people I know that work more than 40 hours a week still work less than 60. This is in "office", food, and service jobs.
It's not universal, but I don't think it's uncommon.

I know people that would work 80 hour weeks. They were engineers in the gaming industry and a couple crunch weeks were not uncommon. But that's a really specific situation for a short period of time.
