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."
