Study Reveals 3 Drinks Can Increase Stroke Risk, One Of Them Is Jus Buah

JAKARTA - A study found that there are a number of drinks that can increase the risk of stroke. Experts say consuming too much soda, coffee and fruit juice can increase the risk of stroke significantly.

Reporting from the Newton page, research led by Galway University, Ireland says someone consumes these three drinks a lot, so the greater the chance of suffering from a stroke.

"Our most important finding is the relationship with increased risk of stroke with frequent coffee intake, sods or fruit juices," said Professor Andrew Smyth, an epidemiologist at Galway.

The researchers found drinking soda contains sugar or artificial sweeteners related to increasing the risk of stroke by 22 percent. This risk increases sharply if a person drinks two or more soda per day.

They also found fruit juices attributed to an increased risk of intracerebral bleeding by 37 percent. If you consume these two drinks in a day, it can double the risk of stroke.

"Not all fruit drinks are made the same. Jus fresh fruit is likely to provide benefits, but fruit drinks made from concentrate, with a lot of additional sugar and preservatives, may be dangerous," he said.

Professor Andrew Smyth said women appear to consume fruit juice more often. Women who often consume fruit juice, are at greater risk of intraserebral bleeding than men.

Tea and coffee are also associated with a change in stroke risk. Researchers say drinking more than four cups of coffee per day is associated with an increased risk of stroke by more than a third. If you consume a little coffee, it can't increase the risk of a stroke.

Drinking 3-4 cups of black tea per day can reduce the risk of stroke by 29 percent. Consuming green tea with a similar amount can also reduce the risk of stroke by 27 percent.

The results of this risk study vary depending on the residence of research participants. The relationship between soda and the risk of stroke is the strongest in eastern and central Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and South America.

Meanwhile, regularly consuming tea drinks is associated with a lower risk of stroke in China and South America, but the risk of a higher stroke in South Asia.
