Protect your blood brain barrier
Thursday, April 3rd, 2008There are a lot of reasons to like the “blood brain barrier”
- It’s a filter for your brain
- It has blood in its name
- It has brain in its name
- 3 b words in a row
For some reason, I always pick up on stories about this biological strainer and they are usually good news.
Check out this BBC article about good ol’ BBB: Daily caffeine ‘protects brain’
Wait a minute…
studies have shown that high levels of cholesterol in the blood can make this barrier “leaky”
!!! Yikes !!!
Good thing I’m a vegetarian…
