The research was published in “BMC Neurology.”

The research team first collected 130 international documents and selected 7 studies for comprehensive analysis.

There are also many international studies showing the health benefits of coffee.

They seem to hinder the accumulation of toxicity of a certain protein from reducing Type 2 diabetes risk.

A study published in the “British Medical Journal” in 2017 showed that drinking coffee can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. However, this survey study may affect the relevant survey data as the tester’s age, weight, and lifestyle changes, so the researchers pointed out that in-depth research is needed in the future to provide a complete survey report.

The study found that compared with all other dietary factors, the correlation between drinking coffee and reducing the risk of heart failure was more prominent.
