Specialists from the Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee, a non-profit organization that examines the health effects of coffee, believe that protection when consuming coffee can come from the caffeine and polyphenols found in the drink. Caffeine is believed to prevent the accumulation of beta-amyloid (Aβ ), commonly considered the main cause of Alzheimer’s disease. Polyphenols have an antioxidant effect that reduces inflammation and can help protect the brain from age-related deterioration [5].
