HealthDay: "The studies, published in the July 5 online edition of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, also found that caffeine cut by half the mice's excessive blood and brain levels of beta amyloid, the protein linked to characteristic plaque found in human Alzheimer's disease.
'The new findings provide evidence that caffeine could be a viable 'treatment' for established Alzheimer's disease, and not simply a protective strategy,' lead author Gary Arendash, a University of South Florida neuroscientist, said in a news release. '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.'"
