According to USA Today, a new study suggests that drinking coffee can benefit people who are at risk for Alzheimer’s disease:
“Caffeine is the most widely used psychoactive drug in the world,” says Arendash, a researcher at the Byrd Alzheimer Institute in Tampa. “We think it might protect against Alzheimer’s.”
Keep in mind that the study hasn’t tested the use of caffeine on people with Alzheimer’s traits, just mice. However, people with Parkinson’s have been tested and caffeine does help them, so the researchers are pretty excited. Starbucks, anyone?
