Coffee Increases Risk of Aneurysms

New study shows that drinking coffee everyday increases risk of aneurysms. According to Times, coffee among other factors triggers stroke. With 250 patients surveyed, the researchers identified stroke triggers with coffee the highest contributor:

•    Coffee consumption (10.6%)

•    Vigorous physical exercise (7.9%)
•    Nose blowing (5.4%)
•    Sexual intercourse (4.3%)
•    Straining to defecate (3.6%)
•    Cola consumption (3.5%)
•    Being startled (2.7%)
•    Being angry (1.3%)
These triggers increase the risk for only about an hour after consumption or activity. But coffee is many people's breakfast drink right? So those people are at risk of stroke, including me. I really should cut back from drinking it.
