Hey BC,

“I guess these single serving brewing machines in the office are actually a health benefit. Donâ€™t let the manufacturer find out or the price will go up even more.”

LOL I can just see the new “Super Deluxe Cure Everything Magic Coffee Genie Machine” making its debut in big box stores across the nation.

I recall reading about the powerful antioxidants in coffee a while back. Since I do consume a lot of coffee, this was nice to know. But the article specifically said you had to consume the coffee within 20 minutes of it being brewed or the antioxidant level was significantly diminished. This correlates to the comment above about inhaling the coffee vapors. I guess these single serving brewing machines in the office are actually a health benefit. Don’t let the manufacturer find out or the price will go up even more.

That is very interesting, although obviously there are other factors. My grandmother was a moderate coffee drinker and had Alzheimers in her late 70's. Perhaps she would have come down with it sooner, but who knows. I worry about my father getting it as his mother and grandmother did, not to mention myself. I'm glad they are researching the disease and hopefully we'll see a major breakthrough in the coming years. In the meantime, I think I'll start drinking a little more coffee.

Hey Dan,

Good question. Miia Kivipelto, the lead researcher mentioned that more studies are needed to determine exactly how the caffeine works and pointed to the fact that it does indeed contain strong antioxidants that are known to combat Alzheimer’s.

I remember reading a study waaaay back in my 20s (I’m 35 now.) that showed a freshly brewed cup of coffee (hot and steamy) was packed full of antioxidants and you actually received the boost simply from inhaling the steam. I would guess that the more caffeine-> the stronger the coffee -> the more antioxidants. (Just my guess though.)

It would be interesting to see results from tests on decaf.

And yeah, personally I will not be drinking 5 cups. I’m a Grande person at Starbucks which gives me 16 fl oz. Considering the Venti only gives me 20 fl oz, it’s clear I need to start brewing at home if I want to hold on to my wallet.

So is caffine an antioxidant, or does coffee contain antioxidants seperate from the caffine? Anyone drinking five cups of coffee a day is risking an increase in blood pressure, so Alzheimer’s may not get you, but strokes will.
