Todays Health Article

National Nutrition Month

March 12th, 2011

Todays daily dose…maybe what the doc ordered and he did not actually do so! For most women who are at risk of a stroke and are taking their daily dose of coffee, this may be good news for them. Yes thats what it says, no clerical error but finds were published online Thursday in the American Heart Association journal Stroke. This indicating that women who indulged in a daily dose of coffee may lower their risk of stroke.

 The women involved in this  Swedish study, who drank at least a cup of coffee every day, had a 22 to 25 percent lower risk of stroke, compared to those who drank less coffee or none at all.

Should Coffee Drinkers Rejoice

Dr. Sharonne N. Hayes, a cardiologist at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., makes this statement,  ”Coffee drinkers should rejoice, coffee is often made out to be potentially bad for your heart. There really hasn’t been any study that convincingly said coffee is bad. If you are drinking coffee now, you may be doing some good and you are likely not doing harm.”

However, others may be saying, the study shouldn’t send non-coffee drinkers running to their local coffee shop. Why, the study doesn’t prove that coffee lowers stroke risk, only that coffee drinkers tend to have a lower stroke risk.

Dr. David S. Seres, director of medical nutrition at Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York states, “These sorts of epidemiological studies are compelling but they don’t prove cause,” 

 The Daily Dose  Clarification

 
The daily dose of coffee  has been studied for years, trying to determine its risks and benefits. “There hasn’t been a consistent message come out,” of coffee studies, said Dr. Cathy Sila, a stroke neurologist at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland.

“ The Swedish researchers led by Susanna Larsson at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm said previous studies on coffee consumption and strokes have had conflicting findings.

For the observational study, researchers followed 34,670 Swedish women, ages 49 to 83, for about 10 years. The women were asked how much coffee they drank at the start of the study. The researchers checked hospital records to find out how many of the women later had strokes.

There were a total of 1,680 strokes, including 205 in those who drank less than a cup or none. Researchers adjusted for differences between the groups that affect stroke risk, such as smoking, weight, high blood pressure and diabetes, and still saw a lower stroke risk among coffee drinkers. Larsson said the benefit was seen whether the women drank a cup or several daily.

“You don’t need to drink so much. One or two cups a day is enough,” she said.”

Reducing Risk of Stroke

 May want to point out here, that those who want to reduce their chances of a stroke should focus on the proven ways to lower risk: Don’t smoke. Keep blood pressure in check. Maintain a healthy weight and exercise daily.

Todays Health Comments

Today coffee seems to have perhaps something more to rejoice about. Although there has been lots of studies done on coffee and seems to be one of those drinks that scientists just can not arrive at a defined conclusion. Why, I do not know, chances are, there will be more to come in the future. So those who do drink coffee will most likely continue to drink, and those who do not, will probably not rush out to drink a dose.
