Daily Caffeine Protects Your Brain
Chroniton writes "The BBC has a story that many Slashdot geeks will be happy to hear: the caffeine from a cup of coffee a day can help prevent Dementia, by blocking the damage of cholesterol. (At least in rabbits) This is in addition to the already-known protection against Alzheimer's Disease. More research is needed to test the effect on humans."

That's funny, because the more cups of coffee I drink, the crazier everyone else says I am. I must just be the only sane one, sitting here rearranging my pencils after my eighth cup this morning.
Surely the number of rabbits who enjoy a daily cup of coffee is such a small population as to be statistically insignificant.
The more you regulate a company, the worse its products become.
How do they know?
As anyone who's ever owned a rabbit will tell you, they're pretty demented to begin with.
And a rabbit on caffeine is just plain scary.

Perhaps then Alzheimer's is caused by cholesterol damage? You know, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then... what was I about to say? Ah, yes, then, perhaps eating too much duck meat is bad for your cholesterol if you are a rabbit?

If eating a pack of Bratwurst's will, in any way, stop the adoption of Windows Vista, then you can definitely count me in.

I would hate to eat a stake every day... now a STEAK, on the other hand, would be awesome. I just don't have the budget right now.
most cholesterol is produced in you body and has little to do with what you eat e.g. some people can eat stake all day and be fine other can eat nothing but lattice and have a cholesterol problem.
You are entirely correct, sir. If you eat pointy sticks all day, there's no way you will be getting excess cholesterol, whereas eating pastries all day can't be good for you.
Well Stake and Lattice are all fiber anyways ;)
I hope you're not eating the pressure treated kind.
Shut up and buy what the study sponsor wants to sell you.
Most slashdotters are the vampire type, and eating stake would be very bad for their health.
If you can read this, I forgot to post anonymously.
my cholesterol is fine, but the crystals keep chipping my teeth.

Either way it's good for your Colon. and high fiber diets are known to reduce Cholesterol.
The pressure treated will give you lots of copper in your diet.. If you get to the chewey center, then it has less of the green stuff in it.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
Not yet - reduce the daily dosage steadily every 3 days - half a scoop of grounds per day should be manageable - until you're down at about 2 scoops per day. Then comes the tricky part. You should be able to work your way back to mugs, but be careful not to bite down on the rim. Your body will also be used to a steady stream of caffeine, so keep it coming regularly at first - say a cup every half hour, otherwise you get those monkey on your back cravings and may find yourself climbing up the side of your building naked while listening to the 2001 OST and flinging faeces at people. That only happened one time though; I've now learned to be more careful when easing off after a deadline.
Good luck.

"most cholesterol is produced in you body and has little to do with what you eat e.g. some people can eat stake all day and be fine other can eat nothing but lattice and have a cholesterol problem."

I thought my rabbit was going to be perfectly healthy on a diet of hay and fresh greens. How many cups of coffee should he be drinking daily to be safe?
Adopt a rabbit!
I got down to a cup a week once. No Pro-plus or Red Bull substitution either.
However I also developed an alcohol problem at the same time.
Actually, I think the one dose of coffee had liqueur in it.
Based upon my experiences, you should drink lots of coffee to prevent alcoholism.
The mathematician's diet.
No, no, listen. Cholesterol is a type of fat. Fat floats. You know what else floats? Ducks! So you shouldn't eat anything that weighs as much as a duck. And you should dunk your rabbits in coffee before eating them.

Who wood eat nothing but stakes or lattice anyway?
Pitr, is that beink you?
I only post comments when someone on the internet is wrong.
...and have coffee in the morning, water in the afternoon and vodka in the evening! I'm healthy as a horse! Save for the fact I now get erections when I walk by cardboard boxes...

They own Java, though I didn't know that contained caffeine.
