Coffee healthy drinking coffee reduces the risk of Parkinson's disease, the key lies in genes.
New York State Health Department's Dr. Hyde Payami (Dr. Haydeh Payami) reported at the World Parkinson Congress (World Parkinson Congress) in Glasgow on Sept. 29 that researchers have found a gene called GRIN2A, which can be activated by people with this gene in their bodies.
A team led by Dr. Hyde-Payami studied 4, 000 volunteers, half of whom had Parkinson's disease, scanned the subjects' genomes with a "ILLUMINA" gene chip, conducted a "whole-genome association study" and investigated the subjects' daily coffee drinking habits, and found that the GRIN2A gene stimulates caffeine, thereby reducing the risk of Parkinson's disease. 1/4 of the world's population carries the GRIN2A gene.
GRIN2A is associated with a compound called glutamate (glutamate), which is suspected of killing brain cells in people with Parkinson's disease. Glutamate is affected by another compound, adenosine (adenosine), and coffee interferes with this process. This explains why the "A2A adenylate receptor antagonist", which has been used in clinical trials of Parkinson's disease and other neurological diseases, does not work well. The key lies in the GRIN2A gene, which can only be effective in patients with the GRIN2A gene.
The medical community has long known that some people drink coffee to prevent Parkinson's disease, but the cause has not been understood. Now the answer is: it has something to do with genes. The discovery is of great significance for the development of drugs for Parkinson's disease.

Coffee healthy living Coffee is associated with reducing the risk of brain tumor
New YORK (Reuters Health) Thursday, Sept. 30, 2010-Coffee and tea drinkers have a lower risk of developing the most common adult malignant brain tumors, according to a new study. The findings, based on a study of 500000 adults in Europe, provide evidence for a recent study in the United States that people who drink more coffee and tea have a lower risk of developing gliomas (gliomas).

Coffee study finds caffeine can prevent and treat multiple sclerosis
Researchers in the United States have found that caffeine can prevent mice from developing multiple sclerosis similar to that in humans, a discovery that will help develop new ways to combat multiple sclerosis. Jeffrey Mills of Cornell University and others found that mice that consumed a certain amount of caffeine a day (equivalent to 6 to 8 cups of coffee a day) were less likely to develop an experimental autoimmune brain.
