I love the java jive and it loves me

After years of trying to cut down on the dreaded caffeine, it would appear that I can confidently revert ;)

A study conducted in Montpellier, Bordeaux, and Paris looked at the effect of caffeine intake on the mental abilities of 4,197 women and 2,820 men aged 65 and above. They were followed up at two years and four years.

The results show that women drinking three or more cups of coffee a day (or six cups of tea) were significantly less likely to suffer from cognitive decline than those drinking one or less. The protective effect seemed to increase with age.

There was no protective effect found for men. (Sorry chaps, but then you are less likely to suffer from dementia anyway.)

I love coffee, I love tea
I love the java jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup (boy!)

I love java, sweet and hot
Whoops Mr. Moto, I'm a coffee pot
Shoot the pot and I'll pour me a shot
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup

Oh slip me a slug from the wonderful mug
And I'll cut a rug just snug in a jug
A sliced up onion and a raw one
Draw one -
Waiter, waiter, percolator

I love coffee, I love tea
I love the java jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup

Sorry, couldn't resist - I love that song! Manhattan Transfer on YouTube.
