PLOS Medicine: Chinese scientists claim benefits of coffee for preventing stroke and dementia 
Drinking coffee or tea reduces the risk of stroke and dementia said Chinese scientists from Tianjin Medical University, the results of the study are published in the journal PLOS Medicine.
Biologists have identified the benefits of coffee for brain function. They studied the data of 365,682 people. Experts selected those wishing to participate in the experiment from 2006 to 2010, the data of volunteers were registered until 2020. At the beginning of the study, the Chinese described how often they drink coffee or tea. Over the course of 14 years, 5,079 participants developed dementia and 10,053 had a stroke.
After analyzing the collected data, scientists came to the conclusion: people who drink two to three cups of coffee or three to five cups of tea a day (or both drinks up to six cups daily) are less likely to experience strokes and dementia. They had a 32 percent lower risk of stroke and 28 percent lower risk of dementia.
Those who did not drink these drinks had significantly worse results. “Moderate consumption of coffee and tea, alone or in combination, was associated with a low risk of stroke and dementia,” the experts emphasized, noting that they can be used to prevent diseases.
Previously, nutritionist and nutritionist Irina Lizun said that coffee should be drunk in the morning during or after meals, and not as a substitute for lunch.
