Caffeinated coffee is proven to reduce the risk of getting Alzheimer's by boosting levels of an important protein.
Mysterious compound that will react with caffeine to increase levels of protein GCSF granulocyte colony stimulating factor or who are believed to stop the progression of Alzheimer's disease. In experiments on rats, the compound was shown to improve memory mice suffering from Alzheimer's. Researchers said the level of GCSF is much reduced in patients with Alzheimer's.
The interaction between an unknown substance with caffeine would explain why coffee protects against Alzheimer's disease, while other caffeinated beverages does not give a similar effect. It is not fully understood. "There is a synergistic interaction between caffeine and some mysterious component in coffee that provides increased levels of GCSF in blood is very beneficial," said Cao Chuanhai, neural expert at the University of South Florida, United States, involved in the study.
Studies in humans found that a daily intake of caffeinated coffee during midlife and may further reduce the risk of Alzheimer's. "We're not saying that daily coffee consumption in moderation may protect humans entirely from Alzheimer's disease," said Cao. "But it may lower the risk or delay the disease."
