Coffee Is Good For You

Great news for all you hopeless caffeine addicts out there who wouldn't able to stop drinking coffee if their life depended on it. It turns out that coffee is good for you after all.

Although we are used to hearing about how bad coffee is thankfully there occassionally turns up a story in the media to put our minds at rest. Sure, these stories could be cooked up by the coffee industry themselves and perhaps they are funding dodgy research into the health benefits of coffee but the stories make me feel better about my high daily caffeine intake so I welcome them with open arms.

This time the so called faceless "experts" are telling us that coffee "may" cut the risk of dementia by blocking the damage cholesterol can inflict on the body.

Supposedly 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. I never have a clue what the experts are talking about but they are telling me coffee is good for me then I'll run with it. If my 8 cups of espresso coffee I drink every day saves me from losing my mind, so much the better.
