Scientists discover big clue to how caffeine wards off Alzheimer's

The tau mice on chronic caffeine did not develop the spatial memory impairments seen in the controls.

Written by Catharine Paddock PhD:
German and French researchers have demonstrated that caffeine has a positive effect on tau deposits, one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. They showed how giving regular doses of caffeine to mice bred to develop tau protein deposits in their brains slowed memory decline compared to control mice.
The team believes the findings will eventually lead to a new class of drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease...Continue reading...http://gifrific.com/sylvester-the-cat-drinking-coffee/
