Alzheimer's

A new U.S. study suggests drinking coffee five cups a day helps protect against and combat Alzheimer's disease.

    "The study gives evidence that caffeine may be a viable treatment for established Alzheimer's disease and not simply a protective strategy," said Dr Gary Arendash of the University of Florida.

    Dr Gary, who led the research, and colleagues tested on 55 mice bred to develop symptoms of Alzheimer's. They then dosed up half mice on caffeine after their memory impairment became apparent.

    Astonishingly, the mice performed far better on memory tests and thinking skills than those who were not given caffeine.
