Recently, studies have found - if you're a regular 
coffee  drinker - it appears to have a reduced risk of a stroke.

THURSDAY,  Feb. 25 (HealthDay News) - "The study of 23,000 men and women who were  followed for an average of 12 years found that "self-reported coffee  consumption was inversely related to stroke risk," said study leader  Yangmei Li, an epidemiologist at the University of Cambridge in  England."
The overall view shows, people who reported  they are a 
coffee  drinker of any amount - had a 27 percent lower risk of stroke  than those who said they never drank the black beverage, as per the  researchers report. 
Drinking coffee more frequently and more of  it, than usual - was not associated with a greater reduction in stroke  risk.
Yangmei Li said "This association was in subgroup  analysis stratified by sex, age, social class, educational level,  smoking status, alcohol drinking, tea drinking, physical activity,  plasma vitamin C and diabetes status."
A professor of  epidemiology at the Medical University of South Carolina and a spokesman  for the American Stroke Association is - Daniel Lackland - he says that  the new research that this confirms earlier findings but not  groundbreaking - however it is consistent with other studies that have  looked at reduced stroke risks from 
drinking coffee. 
Type  2 diabetes is lowered - which is a main factor in a stroke - basically -  if you drink coffee it will help reduce the risk of developing type 2  diabetes - which in turn help reduce the chance of a stroke and heart  disease. From what we know the actual studies have not been done to get  true results - mostly taken on reports on an individual level of  comments and results with their coffee consumption
Lackland  further added "There has been no study designed to produce the kind of  evidence needed to make recommendations."
