Two strong coffees a day can reverse Alzheimer's.

From Daily Mail:
Drinking two strong cups of coffee a day could keep Alzheimer's disease at bay - and may even reverse some of its symptoms, a study suggests.

Researchers have uncovered evidence that caffeine not only helps to stave off dementia, but can also treat it.

Although the findings come from animal research, the scientists say they are some of the most promising experiments of their kind ever done.

Dr Gary Arendash, who led the study at the University of South Florida, said: 'The new findings provide evidence that caffeine could be a viable treatment for established Alzheimer's dis-ease, and not simply a protective strategy.

'That's important because caffeine is a safe drug for most people. It easily enters the brain, and it appears to directly affect the disease process.'
