"Coffee Consumption Linked to Lower Parkinson's Risk, Studies Suggest"
TL;DR
A study by the University of Turku found that high caffeine intake does not slow the progression of Parkinson's disease or improve its symptoms. Instead, it is linked to a greater decrease in dopamine transporter binding, likely due to a compensatory mechanism. Recent caffeine intake can also affect brain imaging results, suggesting patients avoid caffeine before testing.
