MODERATORS
I don't think the article mentions it, but one of my favorite weird facts is that a greater consumption of caffeinated beverages has been proven to reduce your risk of Parkinson's Disease.
Link to study.
That's interesting, I thought it would've been the other way around, given that caffeine can make you jittery. Parkinson's is associated with a loss of dopamine producing cells, so maybe caffeine helps to stimulate those cells in some way.
