Neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's, affect millions of people in the United States, and the cost of caring for people who live with these conditions adds up to hundreds of billions of dollars each year.

    “In their lab, the team “cooks” samples of coffee grounds at 200° for four hours to reorient the caffeic acid’s carbon structure and form CACQDs.” Sounds like how I make coffee. Wonder if cold brew also works.

      Why not drink the entire cup though?

        Because then they wouldn’t have any left. I just drink half of what’s in the cup each time so I never run out.

          While I can appreciate an infinite sum, as so: I think the surface tension of coffee would only allow about 4800 drops per cup, so you’d be able to drink half about 13-14 times before you’d run out.

            That was a snort spraying coffee everywhere. It’s not often that a math joke is just the perfect response at the perfect time

            In Applied Coffee Drinking, you need to account for splitting the atoms when the cup is that low.

    It’s a pity this research is so preliminary. The worst thing about reading articles about this is how hopeful they sound but realizing how many ways this could not pan out and even th most optimistic scenario is well over a decade out
