It's true. The authors of this study looked at a lot of nutrient and lifestyle factors to see if anything could enhance coffee's brain-preserving attributes. Only one thing did — B-vitamins. Vitamins B12, B6, and folic acid to be specific. According to the authors, "We found that the protective association between higher caffeine intake and cognitive decline was more pronounced among those taking vitamin B supplementation."
But how does it work? What is it about coffee that makes it preserve brain function better? The authors theorized that coffee has a direct protective effect on the brain and nervous system in general. They point out that coffee has already been shown to decrease the amount of brain lesions that occur with aging including increased white matter lesions and small vessel hemorrhages called microvascular ischemic lesions.
Also, coffee may block the adenosine A2A receptors. That can slow down the damage caused by amyloid-beta, the toxic peptide that causes the amyloid plaques in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's. Several studies in mice that were bred to develop Alzheimer's have shown that caffeine actually reduces the amount of these plaques and improves memory.

But what about side effects? Lots of people insist that coffee is bad for you. It's acidic. It's a diuretic. It transiently raises your cholesterol. It increases your heart rate. Surely there must have been side effects. Not so fast. A recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition looked at 11,697 nurses. Many of them drank in excess of four cups per day. They followed the nurses for 24 years. The authors noted that in all these women over all that time, how much coffee they drank did not affect their health or death rate one bit. So here's the plan.
If you love coffee, then enjoy the fact that it is probably one of the few things that you love that is actually really good for you.
