Alzheimers.
Hello,
.
It is now thought, by American scientists, that if people drink five cups of coffee per day, then they will reduce their chances of developing Alzheimers.
.
The research was carried out with laboratory mice, which were specially bred to develop Alzheimers when they reached the mouse equivalent of of human old age.
.
Their conclusions were apparently based on this research, which showed that caffeine consumption was helping prevent the body producing protein plaques.
These plaques being a common symptom of Alzheimers.
.
The brains of sufferers from this condition show clumps of beta- amyloid protein, and caffeine was found to reduce this by half.
.
Human tests are planned to begin as soon as it is possible.
Wouldn’t it be grand if the prevention of such an awful thing could be so simple.

I just remembered that it is also thought that Tumeric can help prevent Alzheimers too.
It is a compound found in Tumeric, called Circumin, that is responsible for this benefit. It prevents the accumulation of the plaques I mentioned before.
This came to light when it was noticed that older people in India showed a much lower incidence of Alzhzheimers than their Western counterparts.
It is eaten daily in their diet as it is an ingredient used in the making of curries.
This is yet another compelling reason to eat one of my favourite things,
.
Excellent.
