Women Who Drink Coffee Are Less Likely To Have Stroke

A new study has suggested that drinking coffee could lower women's risk of suffering a stroke.

The study of 83,000 women, conducted over a 24-year period by Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, revealed that women who drank five to seven cups of coffee a week were 12 per cent less likely to have a stroke than were those who downed just one cup a month.

Coffee Complicates Matters for Women With Poor Fertility
Women with fertility problems should stay away from guzzling too much coffee, for a new study has found that the drink can worsen the chances of women with poor fertility becoming pregnant.

However, German experts on stroke prevention in Berlin say that the benefit does not appear to come from caffeine, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

Professor Martin Grond of the German Stroke Society said that those who drank tea and other caffeinated drinks did not experience the same reduction in stroke risk.

It looks like the positive health effects of coffee-drinking come from antioxidants in the beverage, which lower inflammation and improve blood vessel function, according to researchers.

They found that drinking four or more cups a day lowered the risk by 20 per cent.

Macmillan Cancer Support is offering a prize for six people to ride in a hot air balloon as a part of the Biggest Coffee Morning event in the World due to be held in Moray on September 26.

The study has been published in the March issue of the journal Circulation.
