A new scientific study has revealed that consuming a moderate to large amount of caffeine daily may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's.
The study, which was supervised by scientists from France and published in the scientific journal Science Alert, confirmed that caffeine reduces the levels of certain types of proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid associated with Alzheimer's.
The researchers studied data from 263 people over the age of 70 who suffered from mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease between 2010 and 2015.
The team clinically evaluated the participants and conducted a detailed survey of their consumption of foods and drinks, such as coffee, chocolate, tea and soft drinks, to assess the amount of caffeine their bodies absorb each day, in addition to conducting magnetic resonance imaging scans of their brains, and collecting blood and cerebrospinal fluid samples.
