Thank goodness for this very helpful study that I can use to justify my addiction.

I'm glad it's probably the caffeine. I have green tea every day and don't really want to swap it for coffee.

or with dementia kicking in, people forget to make the coffee?

For further prevention, you may want to get rid of your plastic coffee maker as it gives you a large dose of microplastics, every time you brew with it. Best to use a pour over or a french press that you then filter after brewing. Also, studies have shown regular sauna use reduces microplastics.

How much is “a cup”? Some sources say 6 fl oz, 8 is a traditional “cup”, and some people say “a cup” when they mean “a full cup “ which often is 12 or 16 fl oz.

I think people are missing a key statement in Brad’s analysis. Around the 4:19 mark. Coffee and tea contain other polyphenols and bio active compounds. In coffee, these are stripped away through the decaffeination process, which could be the reason why caffeinated coffee retains its benefits and decaffeinated coffee does not. Also, caffeinated coffee contains 100s of other compounds. It would be interesting to have a coffee chemist weigh in on these studies.

Brad, any updates on NMN? In Australia we are starting to get a massive marketing campaign from many companies, pushing and promoting NMN saying it is the building block of NAD+, a molecule our cells use to support energy production. NAD+ declines as we age, and that it's needed to enhance NMN enhances levels in the body. Thank you Brad :)

My mother just passed away with this, I was her sole caregiver for several years. I cared for her until her death. Going through that was traumatizing. She drank coffee daily up until she progressed to the later stages. I tried so many different supplements to try to help her but nothing worked. Eventually she couldn't take all of those pills anymore. I don't think that any currently known supplement or food alone will stop this. But please keep up the research.

5:53. Would suggest an edit to make clear that instant coffee has minimal diturpenes present and is therefore "ok" from a heart perspective. I personally consume 2-3 strong cups of filtered (fresh) black coffee every morning. Love it! PS - switched to filtered after hearing about LDLc affect while pursuing a (successful) lowering ApoB diet. Much prefer the taste now and if a study came out saying, "don't worry it's all ok" I'd stick to filtered purely as a taste preference.
