00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: Drinking two to three cups of coffee a day or

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: one to two cups of tea helps preserve brain function

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: and reduces the risk of dementia. At least that's what

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: new research is suggesting from mass General Brigham and the

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, which is music to

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: these caffeinated ears.

7
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: I feel like that just enables me to be crazy

8
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 2: and drink more coffee. But yeah, it is interesting. I

9
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: feel like there's a lot about the human rain that

10
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: we don't understand.

11
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 3: A lot of the te's helps to clear out the toxins,

12
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:28,159
Speaker 3: which I'm all about that.

13
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 4: I do feel like I can think more clearly, so

14
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 4: I don't know if there's some sort of correlation with that.

15
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: At the same time, researchers say, though encouraging, there are

16
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: a lot of important ways to protect cognitive function as

17
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: we age, so it might not be best to view

18
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: coffee and tea as the ultimate magical elixir in Dewey Square.
