Maybe that extra cup of coffee this morning you were feeling guilty about, isn't such a bad thing. Researchers at the University of South Florida believe there is a mystery component to coffee that helps fight off the affects of Alzheimer's Disease. 
The full findings of the study will be published June 28 in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. 
Previously, it was believed that caffeine was the ingredient in coffee that helped the body fight Alzheimer's, but scientists haven't seen the same reaction from other caffeinated beverages. The researchers are working to identify the mystery ingredient in coffee so it can be developed into a viable treatment for Alzheimer's Disease.
