Coffee Consumption Lowers Women Stroke Risk
Introduction
Coffee is a brewed drink prepared from roasted seeds, called coffee beans, of the coffee plant. Green unroasted coffee is one of the most traded agricultural commodities in the world. Due to its caffeine content, coffee often has a stimulating effect on humans. Today, coffee is the third most popular drink in the world, behind water and tea.
Since coffee has become one of the most popular drink, there is a need to do scientific studies to examine the relationship between coffee consumption and an array of medical conditions.
Caffein, Does it really bad?
Despite 20 years of reassuring research about coffee and healt effects, many people still avoid caffeinated coffee because they worry about its health effects. However, current research reveals that in moderation—a few cups a day—coffee is a safe beverage that may even offer some health benefits. The September issue of Harvard Women's Health Watch weighs the pros and cons of this popular beverage and eases the concerns of moderate coffee drinkers.
The latest research has not only confirmed that moderate coffee consumption doesn't cause harm, it's also uncovered possible benefits. Studies show that the risk for type 2 diabetes is lower among regular coffee drinkers than among those who don't drink it. Also, coffee may reduce the risk of developing gallstones, discourage the development of colon cancer, improve cognitive function, reduce the risk of liver damage in people at high risk for liver disease, and reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease. Coffee has also been shown to improve endurance performance in long-duration physical activities.
For those who drink coffee to stay alert, new research suggests that you'll stay more alert, particularly if you are fighting sleep deprivation, if you spread your coffee consumption over the course of the day. For instance, if you usually drink 16 ounces in the morning, try consuming a 2-3 ounce serving every hour or so. Again, moderation is the key.
However, as the September issue notes, coffee is not completely innocent. Caffeine, coffee's main ingredient is a mild addictive stimulant. And coffee does have modest cardiovascular effects such as increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, and occasional irregular heartbeat that should be considered. Studies have been largely inconclusive regarding coffee and its effect on women's health issues such as breast health, cancer, and osteoporosis. But, the negative effects of coffee tend to emerge in excessive drinking so it is best to avoid heavy consumption
In Conclusion, for many years coffee is being avoided because the high content of caffeine, and from the health researchs about caffeine show that caffeine isn't good for our health. But, scientist never satisfied with that results, they still optimist about the potential health benefits of coffee since it is most popular beverages. After 20 years of researchs, we found that there are lot potential health benefits of coffee as we seen above..
Coffee and Women Stroke Risk
Women who consume one or more cups of coffee daily have a lower risk of stroke than those who consume less than one cup of coffee a day, according to a study published online March 10 by the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, and colleagues evaluated the association between coffee consumption and stroke incidence.
The investigators found that coffee consumption significantly lowered the risk of total stroke, cerebral infarction, and subarachnoid hemorrhage, after adjusting for risk factors. There was no dose-response relationship between coffee consumption and risk of stoke. Women who drank one to two, three to four, or more than five cups of coffee per day had a significantly reduced risk of stroke compared with those who drank less than one cup per day. Smoking, body mass index, alcohol consumption, and diabetes or hypertension history did not modify this association between coffee consumption and cerebral infarction.
From this study, we can see that coffee is not harmful as we thought before, coffee may also be a protective factors.

I will try to answer it.
Stroke or Cerebrovascular accident has many risk factors, one of them is gender. Female is less risk than male. So maybe, coffee effect as protective factor superimposed by female gender.
But from the study they said that, coffee consumption isn't influenced by other cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, and so on.
Actually the scientist also found inverse relationship between coffee and stroke risk for male, but there is a need to more research to prove it.
While in women, the scientists have finish their observational study and publish their recommendation. Or in simple words, coffee consumption and stroke risk hasn't good enough evidence yet.
