Today's medical discoveries would seem miraculous to people in our past. Now there's some good news for coffee drinkers:
An Italian study finds evidence that espresso coffee may help protect you against Alzheimer's disease! They're cautious, it hasn't been proved yet, no specific prescription has been made . . but so far it looks good.
Researchers think certain proteins aggressively clump together in the brain to trigger the disease. And this study says that components in espresso coffee inhibit that clumping.
Quoting the study, "These results add insights into the neuroprotective potential of espresso coffee and suggest candidate molecular scaffolds for designing therapies targeting monomeric or fibrillized forms of the tau protein." I summarized it for you. You're welcome.
