Here's a BusinessWeek blurb about a new study on coffee's possible health effects:

THURSDAY, March 10 (HealthDay News) -- Women who have at least one cup of coffee -- or even five cups -- daily may be reducing their risk of stroke by as much as 25 percent, new Swedish research shows. And women who don't drink coffee at all may actually be increasing their risk for stroke, the researchers noted. Source: Can Coffee Cut a Woman's Stroke Risk?

The usual disclaimers apply: Not all studies are conclusive, unbiased, or well-designed, so there are plenty of reasons to be skeptical. But I'll ponder this news over a strong cuppa joe.
