"Drinking coffee has previously been linked to a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, and now scientists say they may have an idea of why.

I knew there was a reason that I like French Roast. Good news.

It's back and forth like a see saw on this one. I so enjoy my one organic cup of French Roast every morning.

I lost a friend last year and she was 95 and drank a lot of coffee during the day, she was sharp when her heart finally gave out.

Another kinda friend drinks way too much coffee and still smokes, and she's 85 or so and a sharp mind...

I've also been adding 1/2t coconut oil or a little more to my cup of coffee, there is a lot of info on this oil and the brain and memory.
