December 12/Pakistan/Daily Times -- Drinking more coffee than usual could double the risk of a stroke, according to a study reported in the Daily Mail.
"Light coffee drinkers -- those who normally have no more than one a day -- are twice as likely to suffer a blood clot on the brain if they increase that by an extra cup or two," the report said. The study had found that the risk of a potentially fatal stroke was greatest in the hour following consumption. "After two hours, the coffee's effects had worn off, and the risk of a stroke passed."
