Preventing Alzheimer's With Coffee (Full Report)

Drink 3-5 cups of Java a day? You may be reducing the likelihood of developing Alzheimer's according to a new study by the Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee. 

The latest research suggests that compounds called polyphenols and caffeine can also be responsible for this protective effect. These compounds are also found in high quantities in coffee.

Dr Arfran Ikram, an assistant professor in neuroepidemiology at Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam, who contributed to the report's findings, said: "The majority of human epidemiological studies suggest that regular coffee consumption over a lifetime is associated with a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease, with an optimum protective effect occurring with three to five cups of coffee per day."

Research conducted over 4 years found a decline of 20 percent over this time, however the effect diminished over a longer period of time.
