Now we learn that if you're a dear old lady, you can aid your thinking skills and memory by quaffing more than three lattes a day. But if you're an old chap - forget it. 4197 women and 2820 men were tested for coffee consumption over 4 years.
Neurology magazine reports that caffeine had no protective function for the men (even though they got to really love their morning strong black) Benefits for women, however, increased with age. They had 30 percent less memory decline at age 65, rising to 70 percent over the age of 80.
Ian: Right. I'm instructing Cassie to start drinking coffee again the day she reaches 65!
