One More Cup of Coffee


Coffee staves off PD? A new AMA study says yes, but can’t say specifically why.

A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found 3-5 times less incidences of PD in coffee drinkers (who drank approx. five cups a day) than in non-coffee drinkers.

While this prognosis was originally attributed to coffee’s caffeine content, studies were unable to replicate these results by administering other sources of caffeine.

The jury is still out as to why coffee may stave off Parkinson's.
