Good news ladies! Check out this article published on 03/14/11 in the Boston Globe which shows coffee can lower the risk of stroke in women: "Coffee, it seems, has gotten a bad rap- blamed for heart problems, higher cholesterol, and hyperactivity. Now many researchers believe that not only is coffee harmful, but it should be put in the category of health food.
