Coconut Oil Touted as Alzheimer's Remedy - Health & Science.

Researchers discovered that those 25% of study subjects consuming the lowest amounts of dietary salt actually had a higher risk of death (over 23 deaths per 1,000 person-years) over the study period compared with the 25% who consumed the highest amounts of salt (just 19 deaths per 1,000 person-years).

" New studies reveal caffeinated coffee protects against Alzheimer's, diabetes, depression and prostate cancer. (NaturalNews) Recent research suggests that drinking caffeinated coffee daily may protect against developing Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, prostate cancer, depression and more, according to reports from Science Daily.
Animal studies at the University of Florida discovered an ingredient in coffee that interacts with caffeine and increases blood levels of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (GCSF), a growth factor that that prevents the production of beta amyloid plaques, which are thought to be the causative factor in Alzheimer's disease. Researchers reported that daily consumption of caffeniated coffee by middle-aged and elderly individuals markedly lessens the risk of developing the disease.Treatment with caffeinated coffee increases memory capacity in Alzheimer's mice.
