Daily caffeine dose may delay progress of Alzheimer's, researchers say
Three large cups of coffee a day could help to slow the progress of Alzheimer’s disease and even reverse the condition, researchers say.
A daily dose of caffeine can suppress the degenerative processes in the brain that can lead to confusion and memory loss, a study in mice suggests.
Although drinking coffee has previously been linked to a lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s, this is the first study to suggest that caffeine can directly target the disease itself.
My mother drank coffee from morning to night and never had any problems sleeping or any trouble with her memory, so I believe this
My mother also drank lots of coffee and got Alzheimer's anyway. You can't possibly conclude anything from a clinical trial with a sample size of one.
