Daily Caffeine May Protects Brain

A research team reports that coffee may cut the risk of dementia by blocking the damage cholesterol can inflict on the body.

The drink has already been linked to a lower risk of Alzheimer’s Disease, and a study by a US team for the Journal of Neuroinflammation may explain why.  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.  UK experts said it was the “best evidence yet” of coffee’s benefits.
