Too Much Coffee Linked to Accelerated Cognitive Decline

Drinking more than three cups of coffee a day is linked to more rapid cognitive decline, but moderate coffee intake may be protective.

Not a reliable study. They didn't identify which type of coffee, with milk or cream or without, with sugar or without, drunk with food and which type or without. And it contradicts previous studies which have found three plus black coffees ,caffeinated or decaffeinated ,to bring a myriad of health benefits perhaps due to coffee being rich in polyphenols.

Good point. It is an observational study, which has limits on the level of causality that can be inferred. There is a statistically significant association not definitive proof. The authors themselves say more robust trials are required to take it further. They only controlled for meta-level traits/behaviours.

Not only that, but they DIDN'T control for smoking - FFS

Plus on a quick read they suggest moderate coffee drinking was beneficial but high (was associated with - correlate not cause) "accelerated decline" but not if that was a significant decline - or 2/5ths of SFA increase.

I'd file it under clickbait - and usual claims on Alzheimers and Cancer where dubious benefits to lab rats are hailed as breakthroughs

Absolutely right. The problem with research is that it is now a requirement in so many fields.

The new tonic for stressed-out moms: Microdosing mushrooms

Psilocybin advocates say microdosing allows for calmer parenting, but scientific research is lacking, writes Amberly McAteer
www.theglobeandmail.com www.theglobeandmail.com

"After a particularly hard week, I stopped by my mom-friend’s house for – what else – a glass of wine after bedtime. She had been microdosing for weeks, but not noticing any real benefits. Instead of putting down the bottle, she went down a rabbit hole online. Why wasn’t it working? What was she doing wrong?

And then we both realized this thinking is exactly the cause of our stress: If I’m always feeling like I’m missing a step, always picking up my phone to learn how wrong I am as a parent, always thinking I’m not doing enough for my kids, how can my brain ever clear the fog?

I decided to put down my phone, turn away from the capsule bottle and listen to what I do know to be scientific fact: Parents who even ask themselves these questions are good. Better than good. While it seems like there’s nothing we can do about the societal stress and crushing mental and physical load of doing this job, I try to listen to my inner parent: Take a deep breath. You’re doing just fine."

Luckily the deep breath was free and has no side effects...unlike the glass of wine or mushroom.

David Lynch says he began smoking at age 8, now needs supplemental oxygen for most activities

The celebrated director of "Blue Velvet" and "Twin Peaks" revealed in August he suffers from emphysema, and in an interview with People he warns others of the dangers of smoking.

I kept thinking it was David Cronenberg. But it's David Lynch. Anyway he says he can't direct movies since he is tethered to an oxygen tank. Smoking is bad for you.
