The study found that those who drank more than one cup of coffee a day had a 22% to 25% lowered risk of stroke, compared with women who drank less than that amount. In fact, NOT drinking coffee could be more harmful than helpful — the study also found that drinking little or no coffee was actually associated with a slight increase in stroke risk.
