The deal with coffee and Parkinson's seems to be this: MEN who drink five or more cups of coffee per day are less likely to develop Parkinson's Disease. It's not quite good news. It doesn't mean you can avoid the disease by upping your coffee intake. In fact, it really doesn't mean a lot of anything. Green tea is supposed to have antioxidant benefits, but you have to drink something like eight cups a day for it to make any difference.
Many doctors say that drinking more than three cups of coffee or tea a day is bad for your heart and other body parts. So go figger.
(In case you're wondering, I used to publish a coffee magazazine and now write a newsletter for a coffee company, so I'm always researching coffee stuff.)
