I just read a new study suggests that drinking coffee reduces the risk of Alzheimer's. I don't drink coffee but I do take a caffiene supplement.

Some studies have also shown that coffee helps protects the nerve system, which can also protect against dementia, other studies show that coffee protects against diabetes, which in turn is known to be linked to Alzheimer's.

There are a lot of people that say coffee is bad, and a lot that say it helps.

Here is a quick Q&A web page about it.

Hope it can answer a few questions you have.


P.S. I did hear the alchol one too.

Coffee fits neatly into the receptors for a brain chemical known as adenosine, which is partly responsible for calming you down. By interrupting the activity of adenosine, coffee makes you feel awake and wired. You may think that's a good thing, but consider that virtually every study of PMS has implicated caffeine as a major culprit. The added stimulation and nervousness from the coffee makes you feel edgy at exactly the time that feeling calm would be a blessing. And the blood sugar fluctuations it produces contributes enormously to cravings.

The body treats a coffee jolt as a "stress response" much like the adrenals shooting a jolt of adrenaline into the system. Coffee also increases urinary secretion of important minerals such as magnesium, potassium and sodium and uses up a fair amount of vitamin B1. Not only that, the coffee plant itself is a virtual repository for toxins such as pesticides and other harmful chemicals. Although in the short run it may suppress appetite, over the course of a day most people find it stimulates cravings more than suppresses them.

I've done this and I like it. I've also brewed coffee the night before and kept in the fridge to make an iced coffee and protein in the AM.
