Coffee may lower your inicidence of dementia.

March 01, 2009 -Can coffee reduce the incidence of dementia in coffee drinkers? Thats the question Finnish scientists are asking. A survey of 1,400 adults over a period of 20 years has proven, at least initially, that 2/3rds of regular coffee drinkers were less likely to develop dementia or suffer from Alzheimers disease. Although its not sure if its the coffee itself that is responsible, or the many antioxidants (ie. chlorogenic acid) contained in it - one thing that is sure: coffee drinkers have lower incidences of type II diabetes, which in turn, is linked to lower higher levels of dementia. The study is published in the Jan 2009 Journal of Alzheimer's Disease .
