For your doctor to decipher, I just finished giving a presentation where Coffee, coffee, coffee was highlighted for all its beneficial effects.
Study: Meds containing caffeine tied to double or triple risk of stroke
Taking medications containing caffeine was tied to a doubled or even
tripled risk of having a stroke in a new Korean study that might seem to
contradict recent evidence suggesting coffee and tea exert protective
effects.
But the results may be in fact be in line with that research,
according to the study authors, who point out that people who drank the
least coffee were most at risk when taking caffeinated drugs.
The products included mostly over the counter pain relievers, cold
medicines and alertness aids containing small amounts of caffeine.
"Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, causing blood vessels to tighten and
increasing the pressure of the blood flow," Nam-Kyong Choi of Seoul
National University College of Medicine, who co-led the study, told
Reuters Health in an email.
But what about this study?;
