Coffee is good for you

This is from the BBC:

Coffee may cut the risk of dementia by blocking the damage cholesterol can inflict on the body, research suggests.

The drink has already been linked to a lower risk of Alzheimer’s Disease, and a study by a US team for the Journal of Neuroinflammation may explain why.

A vital barrier between the brain and the main blood supply of rabbits fed a fat-rich diet was protected in those given a caffeine supplement.

This is an interesting read. If their theory is correct I should have no problems with my brain. But at a minimum of 1 pot of coffee a day I’ll probably die from the side effects of drinking that much caffeine.
