Budapest: Drinking up to three cups of coffee a day can lower the risk of stroke and fatal heart disease, according to the largest-ever study of the popular beverage's effect on health.
Participants in the study were divided into three groups based on their coffee intake. No coffee was consumed by 22%, light to moderate (half a cup to three cups a day) by 58%, and high (more than three cups a day) by 20%. After adjusting for a range of other factors that could influence participants' health, researchers found that light to moderate coffee consumption was associated with a 12% lower risk of death from any cause, 17% lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease, and 21% lower risk of stroke.More Related News
