Coffee may help lower odds for Alzheimer’s disease, study suggests – UPI.com

“With Alzheimer’s disease, there’s currently a lack of any effective disease-modifying treatments. Our research group is specifically looking at modifiable risk factors that could delay the onset of the disease, and even a five-year delay could have massive social and economic benefits,” she added.

For the study, Gardener and her team investigated whether coffee intake affected the rate of cognitive decline over 10 years in more than 200 people who were part of the Australian Imaging, Biomarkers and Lifestyle Study.

My late mother (Hi Mom!) drank a truly prodigious amount of coffee. I would estimate about 25-30 cups per day. She lived into her 90’s and never showed any signs of Alzheimer’s that I noticed, in spite of a family history of the disease. Coffee, I put my faith in you. It’s good and good for you. How many things can you say that about?
