People who reported diets high in antioxidants were just as likely to develop dementia or have a stroke during the study period as individuals who consumed diets that were low in antioxidants.
 Interestingly previous studies that used information from this same group of people found a link between consumption of Vitamin e and a lower risk of dementia and between consumption of Vitamin c and a lower risk of stroke.
In the current study the difference between a diet high in antioxidants and a diet low in antioxidants was linked primarily to the amount of coffee
