This study of 46 213 Japanese found that both coffee and green tea consumption appear to be beneficial in terms of overall mortality in stroke and myocardial infarction survivors. Coffee was beneficial as well in people without a history of stroke or myocardial infarction.

Comment: Other studies have shown that the consumption of both coffee and green tea regularly has a beneficial effect in terms of mortality, with the combination being more beneficial than either alone.
