Drinking coffee and sugar is good for the brain? Do you believe it or not?
According to foreign media reports, a new Spanish study published in the journal Human psychopharmacology: clinical and Experimental Medicine has found that drinking coffee with sugar is good for the brain and can improve memory and attention span.
Scientists at the University of Barcelona in Spain have found that eating caffeine and sugar at the same time can improve the efficiency of the brain than eating caffeine or sugar alone. Caffeine and sugar can promote each other and improve brain functions such as attention span and working memory.
The researchers gave 40 participants an MRI scan of their brains after drinking sweetened coffee, unsweetened coffee, sugar or plain boiled water. A comparative study found that drinking a cup of sweetened coffee in the morning is the best way to deal with a busy day.
The researchers point out that, on the one hand, caffeine has an exciting effect, stimulating the brain to work and combat drowsiness and fatigue. Several early studies have found that drinking three cups of coffee a day can significantly reduce Alzheimer's disease, the key role of which is that caffeine triggers a series of chain reactions in the brain to prevent brain tissue damage. On the other hand, glucose is one of the main "fuels" necessary for brain cells to function properly.
Caffeine and sugar can complement each other and improve brain cognitive function more effectively, a new study has found. The researchers used the standard test method to test the participants' attention span and working memory, as well as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of their brains. The results showed that after drinking sweetened coffee, there was a significant decrease in activity in the bilateral frontal parietal cortex and left prefrontal cortex, which are responsible for attention and memory, and reduced activity in these areas, which means the brain is more efficient.

Men who drink a lot of coffee have a lower risk of prostate cancer
Compared with non-drinkers, people who drank six or more cups of coffee a day had a nearly 20% lower risk of prostate cancer over the past 20 years, the researchers found. Scientists at Harvard University followed 47911 men who regularly reported their coffee consumption. More importantly, compared with non-coffee drinkers, people who drink a lot of coffee suffer from fatal prostate disease.
