Hey...how many cups of coffee do you normally drink a day? Might actually do us good! Except I sometimes cannot sleep at night when I have too much already - that and being jumpy on just about anything.

Such were the findings of researchers at Cornell University:
Mice given caffeine equivalent to a human drinking six to eight cups of coffee a day were protected from developing experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), the animal model for the human disease Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
Caffeine is a well-known adenosine receptor blocker, and the researchers believe results show the importance of this molecule in permitting the infiltration of immune cells into the central nervous system of patients with MS.

I drink coffee everyday because I've read many articles about the good benefits of caffeine in the body. However, sometimes, I couldn't sleep when I drink coffee at night.
It is good thing that there are articles about coffee. I hope someday, coffee can cure many diseases in the future.
