Here’s a fact that may surprise you. Moderate daily consumption of caffeinated coffee may be the best dietary option for protection against Alzheimer’s memory loss. Older individuals with higher blood levels of caffeine had a reduced risk for dementia and a reduced risk of short-term memory loss converting to Alzheimer’s. The protection held even for those already showing mild memory problems. Drinking moderate amounts of coffee throughout adulthood could appreciably lower the risk for Alzheimer’s disease in later life. Here the association between caffeine and Alzheimer’s appeared strong. But, when researchers feed isolated caffeine or decaffeinated coffee to Alzheimer’s prone mice, the protective effect did not occur. The researchers concluded that the caffeine was interacting with other components in the coffee to protect against memory loss. Isolating the caffeine or eliminating it had no value.
