Caffeine may reverse Alzheimer's
There has been news about caffeine possibly slowing the disease, but this is the first I've heard of a study claiming that caffeine can actually reverse Alzheimer's disease.
Note Dr. Weil's comment at the bottom of the article:
"This is all obviously intriguing news, but it is interesting to me that the in media coverage of this study, reporters have largely played up the coffee angle, when the mice were given caffeine, not coffee. The fact is that green and white teas also contain caffeine, along with other compounds that may be neuro- and cardioprotective - and, in my experience, tea is less likely to cause the insomnia, digestive upset, bladder irritation, and jitters that often come with coffee drinking."
