Excessive Coffee, Soda, and Fruit Drinks Linked to Higher Stroke Risk

Studies show that while tea and water may reduce stroke risk, high consumption of coffee, soda, and fruit juice can significantly increase it.

Research led by the University of Galway found a 37% higher stroke risk with the consumption of more than four cups of coffee per day.
Drinking two or more sodas daily is linked to a 22% increased stroke risk, with both sugar-sweetened and artificially sweetened varieties being harmful.
Frequent consumption of fruit drinks raises the odds of a bleeding stroke by 37%, with women particularly at risk.
Tea consumption, specifically three to four cups of black or green tea daily, is associated with a reduced stroke risk by 27% to 29%, though adding milk negates these benefits.
The studies, part of the INTERSTROKE project, emphasize the importance of choosing water and tea over other beverages to lower stroke risk.
