Green Tea and Coffee Consumption Linked with Reduced Risks of Heart Disease and Stroke.

Higher green tea or coffee consumption reduced the risks of cardiovascular disease and stroke subtypes, especially intracerebral hemorrhage. Compared with seldom drinkers, people in a Stroke study who drank two to three cups per day had a 14% reduced risk of stroke, and those who drank four or more cups per day had a 20% reduced risk. Also, people who drank coffee three to six times per week had an 11% reduced risk of stroke, while those who drank coffee daily had a 19% to 20% reduced risk. The study included more than 82,000 middle-aged and older adults.
