Moderate coffee consumption can prevent Alzheimer’s: study

A study from the Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee found that people who drink between three and five cups of coffee daily may lower their risk of Alzheimer’s, dementia, and Parkinson’s disease by up to 27 percent. The study indicates that the combination of caffeine, antioxidants and polyphenols are likely to play a role in the discovery. According to the report, the positive effects of coffee consumption were particularly relevant to elderly men. The report also found that consuming up to five cups of coffee per day does not raise any health concerns.
