Coffee shown to prevent brain damage in diabetics

(Relaxnews) - Researchers in Portugal have found that the consumption of caffeine could protect against memory loss associated with advanced diabetes.

It's an area of study that's not well developed, say scientists from the University of Coimbra: how badly managed type 2 diabetes -- which accounts for 90 percent of all diabetic cases in the world -- affects the brain, causing memory loss and learning problems.
