A new study published in the Nature Portfolio Journal Science of Food finds that higher green tea consumption is associated with fewer lesions in the cerebral white matter, a characteristic feature of dementia.
New research published in the Nature Portfolio Journal Science of Food reveals that higher green tea consumption is associated with fewer lesions in the cerebral white matter, a characteristic feature of dementia. The study, titled 'Green tea consumption and cerebral white matter lesions in community-dwelling older adults without dementia', suggests that green tea may have neuroprotective effects.
Green tea's antioxidant properties, particularly from compounds like epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), may help by scavenging free radicals, reducing inflammation, and inhibiting amyloid β aggregation, which are linked to Alzheimer's disease pathology. Previous studies have shown that green tea consumption is associated with reduced annual hippocampal atrophy, while regular coffee consumption can increase the thickness of brain cortices.

Coffee Consumption Linked to Lower Dementia Risk in Older Adults with Atrial FibrillationA new study suggests that coffee consumption, up to five cups per day, may reduce the risk of dementia in older adults with atrial fibrillation. The study, conducted by scientists at Basel University Hospital in Switzerland, found that participants who drank more than two cups of coffee per day had lower levels of inflammatory blood markers associated with dementia and a reduced risk of memory-robbing symptoms. Researchers suggest that caffeine in coffee may protect against oxidative stress, amyloid buildup, inflammation, and cell death in the brain. However, the Alzheimer's Society cautions that this link has only been proven in mice and not humans, so further research is needed.
