Wednesday, November 09, 2005Winkelmayer's group examined data on 155,594 mostly white female nurses aged 55 on average who took part in two long-running health studies. They were questioned periodically about their diets and health and followed over 12 years. About 33,000 were diagnosed with high blood pressure. Women who drank more than three cups of coffee daily were about 7 percent to 12 percent less likely to develop high blood pressure than women who drank little or no coffee. Those who drank at least four cans of sugared cola drinks daily had a 28 percent to 44 percent increased risk of high blood pressure, compared with women who drank few or none. Diet sodas also increased the risk, although slightly less than the non-diet drinks. Study abstract, but not much revealing information, here. posted by Sydney on 11/09/2005 08:29:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
