Link Details | ID: | 35195 | | Title: | A Coffee a Day Keeps the Doctor Away - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7326839.stm | | Description: | Researchers studying the effects of caffeine on the blood-brain barriera membrane that prevents chemicals in the bloodstream from entering brain tissuehave found that the bitter alkaloid can protect the brain from the damaging effects of cholesterol. Previous studies have shown that cholesterol can make the barrier "leaky," and Alzheimer's researchers suggest that this condition may make the brain vulnerable to damage that can contribute to dementia. The study found that rabbits fed a high-cholesterol diet and given the daily caffeine equivalent of one cup of coffee had more intact blood-brain barriers than their non caffeine-consuming counterparts.
