Video Summary

A new study has found that people who drink coffee are less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. The study, which was published in the journal Neurology, followed over 2,800 people for an average of 10 years. During that time, 50 people developed Alzheimer's disease. The researchers found that those who drank more coffee were less likely to develop the disease. For every cup of coffee a person drank per day, their risk of developing Alzheimer's disease decreased by 6%. The study's authors say that the caffeine in coffee may be responsible for the protective effect. They suggest that caffeine may help to improve memory and cognitive function, and may also reduce inflammation in the brain.
