Wary of developing dementia or Alzheimer's disease in old age? Grab your cup of hot coffee, as it can prevent or delay the onset of debilitating condition, a new study published in the 'Journal of Alzheimer's Disease' states.
The study, carried out by researchers at the University of South Florida on mice suggests an unknown compound present in coffee interacts with caffeine to help protect against the memory-robbing disease.
This interaction boosts blood levels of critical growth factor GCSF (granulocyte colony stimulating factor) which researchers believe can fight Alzheimer's disease (AD).
