“Too much coffee, soda may raise stroke risk, while tea may reduce it.”
Carbonated drinks, fruit juices/drinks, and too much coffee can increase the risk of stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage, according to newly released research.
Drinking four cups of coffee per day increases the risk of stroke, but drinking less does not, the researchers found.
Tea generally protects against stroke, although not in South Asia, say the researchers.
These conclusions are drawn from data representing a large number of participants from 32 countries.
Beverages many of us drink in our daily lives can increase the risk of having a first ischemic strokeTrusted Source or intracerebral hemorrhageTrusted Source (ICH), according to a pair of new analyses from an international team of researchers.
The analyses implicate carbonated beverages, fruit juices and fruit drinks, and more than four cups of coffee per day, all of which significantly increase the risk of stroke or ICH.
The data upon which the analyses were based was the large, international INTERSTROKETrusted Source case study whose results were first published in 2016. That study involved 26,950 individuals from 32 countries. The current analyses of INTERSTROKE data were collaboratively conducted by researchers at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, and the University of Galway in Ireland.
