Now we’ve learned that people in middle age who drink 3 or more cups of coffee a day are over 50% less likely to
develop dementia/Alzheimer’s in later life. A previous study in April revealed dementia-preventing effects from one cup of coffee a day – but that study was done with New Zealand rabbits, who are notoriously picky about their Yemen dark roasts. Before you start bench-pressing your French press (hey, even MORE must be better, right?), keep in mind that we also learned this week that drinking 3 or more cups of coffee can also dramatically increase your risk of hallucinations, especially if you’re under stress. Even in “normal” people. Hmm. Maybe that’s why I keeping thinking I spotted (twitch) my coffee cup. Now where was it again?
