Quote: | Your morning cups of coffee and tea could be associated with lower risk of stroke and dementia

(CNN)The cup of coffee or tea you reach for in the morning -- OK, maybe it's a few -- may be associated with a lower risk for stroke and dementia, according to a new study.
Among more than 360,000 participants studied over a period of 10 to 14 years, those who drank 2 to 3 cups of coffee, 3 to 5 cups of tea, or a combination of 4 to 6 cups of coffee or tea a day had the lowest risk of stroke and dementia, according to researchers from Tianjin Medical University in Tianjin, China.
"Our findings suggested that moderate consumption of coffee and tea separately or in combination were associated with lower risk of stroke and dementia," the authors of the study said in a release.
Around the world, 10% of deaths are caused by stroke, according to a 2017 study published in The Lancet. Dementia refers to a general decline in brain function, but it can set in after a stroke.
Drinking coffee or tea alone also was associated with lower risk for both conditions, but people who had 2 to 3 cups of coffee and 2 to 3 cups of tea daily -- 4 to 6 cups total -- faired the best, with a 28% lower risk of dementia and 32% lower risk of stroke than those who didn't drink either, according to the study.
The participants' information came from the UK Biobank, a database of anonymous health information from around half a million volunteers in the United Kingdom gathered between 2006 and 2020. The study looked at health participants between ages 50 and 74 who self-reported their consumption of coffee and tea.

Wow, 4-6 cups a day is alot! How many drink that much?
A 14 year study is a long time. But, why only study participants between the ages of 50-74?
I gotta tell my parents they need to start drinking 4-6 cups a day now. |

Would be helpful if they defined what they mean by cup. Like literally the measurement “cup” which is 8 ounces, or what is typically considered a “cup of coffee” which is 5 ounces. So 32-48 ounces or 20-30 ounces a day. Big difference. |

Confirms my suspicion that people who don't drink coffee are demented. |

I think the standard cup is 10grams (2 level teaspoons) of coffee bean. That's a lot for me. I can do maybe 20 grams tops. Two cups throughout the day...any more and I start getting nausea. _________________ KOBE |

I drink more coffee when in the office than working at home. Maybe 3 to 4 Americano's per day at home and at least 6 to 7 Lungo's when in the office.
Can't remember a day I didn't start my day with coffee. _________________ “Properly read, the bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.”

Which begs the question, how many shots of tequila should you add to each cup? _________________ Not a legend |
