[ad_1] research has suggested that coffee could also have beneficial effects against certain neurodegenerative diseases. (Image: Shutterstock) Researchers wanted to find out if the compounds present in espresso could prevent tau aggregation in vitro Compounds in espresso coffee may inhibit a process that is believed to be involved in the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, according to early findings of a study conducted in a lab. To make espresso coffee, hot water is forced through finely-ground coffee beans, creating a concentrated extract. This is often used as a base for other drinks, including the trendy espresso martini. Recent research has suggested that coffee could also have beneficial effects against certain neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease. In healthy people, tau proteins help stabilise structures in the brain, but when certain diseases develop, the proteins can clump together into fibrils — a process that is believed to be involved in the onset of Al...
