Hey all, just a quick follow-up on the post from a few days ago about coffee consumption lowering women's risk of depression. (http://musingsofadepressedmind.blogspot.com/2011/09/for-what-its-worth.html)
Found another article about it here: http://healthland.time.com/2011/09/27/coffee-may-lower-womens-risk-of-depression/
Mostly this article talks about the mood-enhancing effects of caffeine, but I highly recommend you take a peek at it. While the researchers found no direct preventative properties, they do know that caffeine binds to certain brain chemical receptors that are associated with mood.
They don't recommend rushing out and constantly dosing yourself with coffee, but like I wrote in the original post, I put it up for what it's worth...
