Default Would you trade cancer for Alzheimer's?

I found a pretty interesting article thanks to my trusty friend, Google. Thought I would share with my fellow addicts. I posted this article a bit ago about how bad coffee is for you. You'd think they would make their minds up!

USF study finds component in coffee works with caffeine to protect against Alzheimer's

Quote:
TAMPA — Recent studies have shown that heavy doses of caffeine might help prevent or delay the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

But rather than guzzling down super-caffeinated drinks such as Red Bull or taking stay-awake caffeine pills such as NoDoz, researchers at the University of South Florida say coffee might be the way to go.

A new study points not to caffeine, but rather an unidentified component in coffee that interacts with caffeine, as a potential weapon against the memory-robbing disease that afflicts more than 5 million Americans.
