Deans' stroke musings: Coffee and green tea consumption in relation to brain tumor risk in a Japanese population

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Coffee and green tea consumption in relation to brain tumor risk in a Japanese population

I'm sure you've heard of all the greatness of green tea. This is not an endorsement, just more information for you. And my favorite(coffee) was also good.

Ogawa T, et al. – In a Japanese population, this study assessed the relationship amongst coffee and greed tea intake and brain tumor risk, study authors recommended that coffee consumption may decrease the danger of brain tumor, including that of glioma.

Methods

In the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study (JPHC Study), the researchers assessed a cohort of 106,324 subjects (50,438 men and 55,886 women).
From 1990 for Cohort I and 1993 for Cohort II until December 31, 2012, subjects were followed.
During the study period, 157 (70 men and 87 women) newly diagnosed cases of brain tumor were distinguished.
Using a Cox proportional hazards regression model, hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) for the relationship between coffee or green tea consumption and brain tumor risk were surveyed.

Results

Researchers found a significant inverse relationship between coffee consumption and brain tumor risk in both total subjects (≥3 cups/day; HR=0.47, 95%CI=0.22-0.98) and in women (≥3 cups/day; HR=0.24, 95%CI=0.06-0.99), although the number of cases in the highest category was small.
It was also observed that glioma risk tended to diminish with higher coffee consumption (≥3 cups/day; HR=0.54, 95%CI=0.16-1.80).
As per the findings, no affiliation was seen between green tea and brain tumor risk.
