Daily caffeine 'protects brain'

[Sweetpea]

Coffee may cut the risk of dementia by blocking the damage cholesterol can inflict on the body, research suggests.
The drink has already been linked to a lower risk of Alzheimer's Disease, and a study by a US team for the Journal of Neuroinflammation may explain why.
A vital barrier between the brain and the main blood supply of rabbits fed a fat-rich diet was protected in those given a caffeine supplement. UK experts said it was the "best evidence yet" of coffee's benefits.

Well, that's good news, I drink loads. After wine, it's my favorite drink.

Its got to be real coffee though, not instant crap. I got addicted to coffee and doughnuts when I lived in the States for a year.

I do get quite cranky and very tired if I don't have some form of caffine for more than 24 hrs. I need a cuppa to get me going in the morning and then at least 3-4 more on a good day.

I cant live without it, I freely admit this is now my only addiction, and I love it I am useless before at least a couple of double espressos in the morning and several jugs of coffee though the day

Real Black and without sugar.

Only wish I was a rabbit......what does an experiment with rabbits prove though ?

Heheheh, me too. After years in the IT industry my blood is more a sort of muddy brown than red, from all the coffee consumed.

I too need my caffine. In fact i would go as far as saying that i am addicted to it.

Little tale for you all

Have been going to the same training centre (maybe four or five times a year) for a number of years now. Each time i went i always came away tired with an awful headache, but blamed it on staring at a screen most of the day. Time before last when i went realised that i always drank caffine free coffee. So the last two times that i've been there i advoided the caffine free coffee, result no tiredness and no headache.
