Daily Caffeine Protects Your Brain

Posted by samzenpus on from the it's-what-brains-crave dept.

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."

    some people can eat stake all day and be fine other can eat nothing but lattice and have a cholesterol problem.

    Perhaps it has to do with the large amount of fiber in their diet?
