Good news fellow coffee lovers, new research shows five cups a day may cut your risk of Alzheimer’s Disease and even reduce its effects.   That’s about the same as two medium cups at a coffee shop.

Now, even I will admit that’s a lot of coffee to drink in one day, but hey, I’m willing to do may part to cut my risk (or at least try).   There are a couple other options.  Researchers at  The  University of South Florida  said it depends on how strong you brew your java so I guess I could try some of Don Slater’s mud….I mean really bold brew…in our green room.   Researchers say you can drink tea too but you’d better be extra thirsty.   They say it takes 20 cups of tea, and I’m guessing a very large bladder.

So, since I can’t guarantee I’ll be within running distance of a restroom at all times,  I guess I’ll take my chances with a cup or two of coffee a day along with the other risk reducing advice like exercise and healthy eating.

Because for me this is really  just a good excuse for spending money on that afternoon coffee.
