Excessive Coffee Consumption is Associated with Smaller Brain Volumes, Increased Odds of Dementia

It's cockney tea you really want to avoid. Before you know it, you're using rhyming slang, smoking roll-ups and scoffing jellied eels.

I just drink instant coffee, which isn't very strong. I wouldn't want to get "overstimurlated".

Speaking of instant coffee: there’s one brand I drink a lot! It’s called “Juan Valdez”. Top shelf!

1. Depends on the brand and on the preparation but usually instant "coffee" has more caffeine than brew.
2. I'd drink tea before I betray the real deal.

Well I must have been right all along, just having the one coffee in the morning.

My mum had dementia although my father died aged four years more apparently without such, so hopefully I have his genes regarding this.

Have managed to almost get rid of that filthy tea-drinking habit - not sure what that causes but I don't want to risk it.

Tea-drinking causes cockneyism.

Well I was born in London but it seems I got my mother's influence (Welsh born) as to talking proper - not like all these Cockney C****, or the likes of Essex *****, or Scouse ***.

I changed to decaff ground a year or two ago. But as @ChristineM would tell you, there's still some caff in decaff.

In a number of such studies I have noticed one common feature: the people that consume whatever it is in moderation tend to have the best health. Those that don't consume at all, and those that consume lots, tend to be more prone to ill health.

My suspicion is that the total abstention or lack of moderation may be caused by some conditions, rather than the other way round.

I think my wine consumption will be having some nasty affects but a glass or two usually lets me ignore such.

Wine is a case in point. Teetotallers tend to be less well but then they will include all sorts of people who have had to give up for health reasons. And of course heavy drinkers tend not to be well, but often they became heavy drinkers due to some psychological need - and then the booze knackers them physically as well.

I need to moderate my consumption of snacks.

That's one thing where there does not seem to be evidence that total abstainer have poor health.

A case (of wine) - now we're talking!

I don't and never have drank coffee so I have no excuse for smaller brain volume's lol

Coffee is a highly popular beverage worldwide, containing caffeine which is a central nervous system stimulant. In a study of 398,646 UK Biobank participants, high coffee consumption (more than six cups of coffee a day) was associated with smaller total brain volumes and 53% higher odds of dementia.

"The association between coffee consumption and dementia was non-linear, with evidence for higher odds for non-coffee and decaffeinated coffee drinkers and those drinking over six cups a day, compared to light coffee drinkers.

After full covariate adjustment, consumption of over six cups a day was associated with 53% higher odds of dementia compared to consumption of one or two cups a day, with less evidence for an association with stroke." -- from the linked article in the opening post​

Apparently too much is not good. I personally have trouble stopping after 1 cup. What I have heard is: some people may lower risk of stroke and dementia by drinking 1 cup in the morning. There are a lot of downsides though, such as bad breath and increased appetite, possibly disturbed sleep or shorter sleep.

As regards the lassitude towards language (as to which I'm particularly affected), I suspect that it is often because many just don't do any serious reading. After all, to many, a word with more than two syllables can hardly be pronounced in their native dialect.

I don't get it.
