Women who drink more than a cup of coffee a day can lower their risk of having a stroke by 25 per cent, research shows.

Those with little or no coffee intake, however, are more likely to suffer from the condition.
那些很少摄入很少,或者根本不喝咖啡的人则更容易换上这种疾病。
The findings are the latest to challenge a common belief that coffee is bad for people’s health.

Scientists stress they have yet to prove it reduces stroke risk, but their work could have major public health implications.
尽管此项研究的科学家们称,还需要确凿的证据来证明咖啡的这一功效,但是他们的发现对于公共卫生可能有着更大的意义。
Researcher Dr Susanna Larsson, of the National Institute of Environmental Medicine at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, said coffee was one of the most widely consumed drinks in the world.

‘Therefore, even small health effects of substances in coffee may have large public health consequences,’ she said.
“因此,哪怕是对于健康有一些些的益处,这对于大众健康所产生的积极影响也是相当可观的。”
Although it is too soon to recommend coffee as a health drink, the findings should ease the minds of women concerned about drinking too much, added Dr Larsson.
尽管现在就将咖啡推荐为健康饮品还未知过载,但还是有不少女性出于担心而对其退避三尺。
‘Some women have avoided consuming coffee because they have thought it is unhealthy,’ she said.
“一些女性担心不够健康,所以不喝咖啡。”

Her team’s study followed the diet and health of nearly 35,000 women aged 49 to 83 over a decade.
