Drink LOTS of Coffee and Reduce Your Risk of MS (AD and PD too) !

In two large population-based studies, one in Sweden the other in the US out of Johns Hopkins University SOMed indicates that caffeine intake is associated with a decreased risk of PD and AD and now a suggested neuro-protective effect against MS. 
BUT the amount of coffee drunk to provide protection may make lavatories even more  popular in Starbucks....which ALWAYS seem to be occupied. In the Swedish study 5-10 cups per day. In the US study more than 4 cups per day.
