Did You Hear That Stuff About Coffee?

That drinking more than three cups of coffee a day may help protect older women against some age-related memory decline? Or its caffeine equivalent in tea, they said. Well, we definitely need all the help we can get with our memory! The study found older women retained more of their verbal and -- to a lesser extent -- visual memories over a four year period. The effect also depended on age, with women over 80 reaping more benefits than those who were 10 to 15 years younger. Sorry, but drinking all that coffee, they said, didn't help men at all! According to the National Coffee Association, the average American drinks one to two cups of coffee per day. So, hey! Let's keep that pot filled!!! (Source: Yahoo! News)
