It would seem for now the great debate of “is coffee good for you?” has been answered for the moment.

“There’s long been debate as to whether coffee is good for you. But this new study suggests that caffeinated coffee, as well as caffeinated tea, could lead to lower incidence of dementia.”

Well that’s great to hear, if there is a lower chance of I wont be batshit crazy when I am older fantastic!

“The teams studied 131,821 individuals from two cohorts: one group of men and one group of women in the U.S., all of whom did not have diseases like dementia, cancer, or Parkinson’s at the start of the study. The researchers followed up with the participants to track their coffee and tea drinking habits every two to four years, with some follow-ups even after 43 years, from the early 1980s to 2023.”

That is a lot of data right there, Other studies have used the metric of “do you drink coffee?” to which has lead to failures.

 Those who consumed more caffeinated coffee or caffeinated tea had an 18% lower risk of developing dementia when compared with those who did not.

Im sure there is a roof to the amount of Coffee here. I wonder if they factored people who have coffee colonics to which I will call them crazy.

“According to the research, the biggest protective effects were seen in “moderate” caffeine intake.”

From Fast Company – Scientists tracked coffee drinkers for dementia risk over 43 years.

But in the end, in the health war of coffee is good/bad for you perhaps this is a good thing. I would think the caffeine uptake helps with blood flow to the brain. So to all my fellow coffee drinkers raise your cup up and Enjoy another day with your “Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my first sip”.
