They refuse to reply to my simple questions. But then I don't expect anything useful from the NSA.

Keep drinking that comforting cup of morning Joe—it could help prevent a stroke.
A recent study published in the journal Stroke found that consuming one
cup of coffee per day can decrease stroke risk by up to 20%.
Researchers followed 82,369 men and women in Japan over the course of
13 years and found those who drank coffee regularly were less likely to
suffer a stroke. Similarly, drinking four cups of green tea per day also
decreased stroke risk by 20%.
Related
studies even suggest the more coffee, the better. Swedish researchers
followed nearly 35,000 women from the ages of 49 to 83 for 10 years and
found those who drank two or more cups of coffee every day decreased
stroke risk by nearly a quarter.
In addition to stroke, drinking coffee regularly is also linked with
preventing Type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and liver cancer.
Coffee hasn’t always been viewed as a benefit to health. In fact,
caffeine has been linked to anxiety, insomnia, osteoporosis, and even
high blood pressure. But researchers also point out that drinking
caffeine is often associated with unhealthy lifestyle choices such as
smoking and a lack of exercise, ultimately causing coffee to garner a
negative reputation.
Researchers are still mystified by exactly why coffee causes a
significant decrease in stroke risk. Speculation includes that coffee
decreases inflammation or improves insulin resistance, both of which can
help prevent strokes.
But remember that just drinking coffee isn’t enough to thwart stroke
and heart attacks—maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine are
the main priority. And when indulging in your morning coffee, stay away
from calorie-laden additives such as sugary syrups and whole milk that
are often found at coffeehouses. Stick to black or opt for a small
amount of sugar and low-fat milk.
