To come to that conclusion, researchers followed more than 83,000
women who enrolled
in the study
in 1980 with no history of
stroke, heart disease, diabetes or cancer.
They found stroke risk was 20 percent lower in those drinking four or more cups a day and 12 percent lower in those who had coffee five to seven times a week.
Tea drinkers may have reason to enjoy their brew, too, according to another study presented at the San Diego meeting.
