Drinking Coffee Helps Prevent Alzheimer’s

In a study conducted by a US team for the Journal of Neuroinflammation, researchers discovered that “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.”

“Caffeine is a safe and readily available drug and its ability to stabilise the blood brain barrier means it could have an important part to play in therapies against neurological disorders,” says Dr. Jonathan Geiger of the University of North Dakota.

Awesome!

Now I definitely don’t feel so bad about going out for thirds or fourths of coffee during the day. Thanks BBC News!
