A new study suggests that consuming one to three cups of caffeinated coffee or tea daily may lower the risk of dementia and cognitive decline. Analyzing health records of over 132,000 individuals over 40 years, researchers found that habitual drinkers had a 15-20% lower risk of developing dementia compared to non-drinkers. However, the study does not recommend that non-drinkers start consuming caffeine.
