An estimated 6.7 million people in the US are living with Alzheimer’s dementia today, and this number could increase to 13.8 million by 2060, according to the NIH. While there are many lifestyle choices that could lower your risk of dementia — including maintaining a good diet, exercising regularly, socializing and keeping your mind stimulated — recent research suggests there’s one humble beverage that can slash your risk with just a few sips.

A study out of Japan has found that older adults who regularly consume green tea have fewer cerebral white matter lesions, aResearchers asked almost 9,000 adults to fill out a questionnaire about their coffee and tea-drinking habits and used brain scans to analyze their data. key indicator of cognitive decline and dementia. While they did not find any evidence that coffee intake might prevent cognitive decline, their results did lead them to conclude that drinking green tea — especially three or more glasses a day — may help prevent dementia.

The findings align with previous studies that have shown green tea consumption can protect you from cognitive decline. A 2022 meta analysis indicates your risk of dementia decreases by 6% for every cup of green tea you consume

I wash my bourbon down with red. I think I read that the combo helps to prevent dementia, but I can’t recall where I read it.

For what it’s worth, I know of a 93-year-old lady who drinks green tea daily. She’s in remarkable health for her age.

Sun drop used to be 120 mg on the 20z bottle
They dropped it to 100
Scoundrels

Milo’s tea is 60

I don’t like monsters

I loved Coca Cola coffee which was 100 mg

But they yanked it

Leaf tea is 100 too

I drink those too

Milo’s rocks! It’s not as good as I make myself, but the only “store boughten” one that comes close. After all I am a Southern lady (fanning self demurely) and I know my iced tea. Apparently you do as well, sir.

Green tea? I think my blood runs tea. If I drank that silly green tea, why gracious, it’s green! Only bugs have green blood. (shiver) No thank you. I am no insect, no sir.

“your risk of dementia decreases by 6% for every cup of green tea you consume”

How awesome is that!? I’m going to drink 16.7 cups of green tea tomorrow and never again worry about dementia.

Maybe capsules will work? I just can’t get into hot green tea.

Alcohol kills brain cells, but only the weak ones.

I’m getting smarter every day!

And then, someone will invent Hard Green Tea; it will be in the store right next to the Hard Cider.

After composing that last statement, I realize that I will stick with my Irish coffee (Bushmills Single Malt)

Irish green tea just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

I bought a big box of Lipton brewed tea to start drinking again, straight up, no sugar or artificial sweetener. Two tea bags per the 1/2 gallon. Might add some lemon to it.

"Green tea is rich in antioxidants — particularly catechins like epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) — which have anti-inflammatory and cell-protective properties, potentially reducing the risk of cancer and stroke.

Great! I eat EGCGs every day. I should be protected from dementia.

Is it green tea causing the stones or hard water?

People who live where there’s lots of limestone seem to get kidney stones more than people who live in the lowlands or on the coast.

IDK but it’s a possibility.

because the stuff tastes to me like grass clipping that have been steeped in hot water ...

You could get in trouble giving away secret proprietary formulas like that.
