Coffee 'may reverse Alzheimer's'
« on: July 06, 2009, 09:48 »
Drinking five cups of coffee a day could reverse memory problems seen in Alzheimer's disease, US scientists say.

The Florida research, carried out on mice, also suggested caffeine hampered the production of the protein plaques which are the hallmark of the disease.

It'll also raise your blood pressure to the point where you have either a stroke or a heart attack before any possible onset of Alzheimers.

Another Monday morning science report  ::) .

Coffee may help  Alzheimer's'

But it doesn't have a chance against "Old timers" disease
I drink the coffee but just seems I keep getting older and forgetting more

Maybe I should switch to whiskey then my body would be pickled and never wast away and I really wouldn't care what I forgot  :thumbs: :laugh:

You don't need to drink whisky to do that.  Even without a drink of whisky, I don't care what you forgot :) !
