I do hope that 3 or 4 times those amounts will correlate to the reduction amount!

Caffeine consumption in older women seems to reduce risk of dementia

A new study suggests a significant relationship between caffeine and dementia prevention, although it stops short of establishing cause and effect.The study, published in the Journals of Gerontology, Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences, found that higher caffeine intake in women 65 and older was associated with reduced odds of developing dementia or cognitive impairment.

Among the women in the study, self-reported consumption of more than 261 milligrams of caffeine per day was associated with a 36 percent reduction in the risk of dementia over 10 years of follow-up. That level is equivalent to two to three eight-ounce cups of coffee, five to six eight-ounce cups of black tea or seven to eight 12-ounce cans of cola.

“While we can’t make a direct link between higher caffeine consumption and lower incidence of cognitive impairment and dementia, with further study we can better quantify its relationship with cognitive-health outcomes,” said Ira Driscoll, the study’s lead author and a professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee.

After pretty much swearing off coffee, I started back drinking two full cups every morning at breakfast for its medicinal effects and yes for the taste too.
I made that change back, after researching coffee , back in late July--now its a daily habit/pattern.
An yes, it showed a positive improvement in my health after a couple months..
I have no clue if drinking much more would be good or bad.. But two cups sits well with me.. -Tyr

I gave up caffeine when I was preggers, and it was the hardest thing to quit, ever. But I never gave up my morning coffee altogether- mon Dieu!

Switched back to caffeine a few years ago, and there I shall stay until I'm gone. I generally drink two large mugs every morning. And if I don't get it, I'm feeling a bit bereft all day. But I am a coffee rank amateur compared to the rest of Staff here.

I did the same while preggers. One cup in the morning-that was it. I can't believe I lived through 27 months of that!
