Drinking 2–3 cups of coffee a day linked to dramatically lower dementia risk
The Brief
- Drinking two to three cups of caffeinated coffee daily was linked to a lower risk of dementia and better cognitive functioning.
- The study spanned up to 43 years, and the benefits appeared regardless of genetic risk.
- Decaffeinated coffee did not show the same association.
Why it matters
The reported result is an association, not proof that coffee prevents dementia, but it adds to research on daily habits and brain health.
