caffeine and stroke/alzheimers risk

I was having an Q&A at a stroke forum on Alzheimers and the worry was getting it and what possibly could prevent that from happenning. I responded with this research.

Caffeine Treats Alzheimer's?

This just came in.
Upping your coffee intake 'doubles the risk of a stroke'

or if you're a woman can coffee cut a womans stroke risk?
So do you want to prevent Alzheimers but have the greater possibility of a stroke? In my opinion/case my stroke was not a bleed so I will take the extra risk, anyway I need the caffeine in order to function during the day. This is the perfect question to ask your doctor and see if they are following the latest news. Depends on which research you believe in.
