This is good news for women who enjoy drinking coffee. Quite contrary to popular belief, it appears to not increase the risk of high blood pressure.

We speculate that it is not caffeine but perhaps some other compound contained in soda-type soft drinks that may be responsible for the increased risk in hypertension.

Women who enjoy their morning or afternoon coffee don't need to be concerned that coffee consumption may lead to high blood pressure.

We found strong evidence to refute speculation that coffee consumption is associated with an increased risk of hypertension in women.
