Some drinks we often have may make it more likely to get Alzheimer's disease later in life.
Diet sodas, because of artificial sweeteners, and sugary coffees can be harmful.
Skim milk lacks important vitamins that the brain needs to stay healthy.
Over time, these drinks can hurt the brain, leading to memory loss.
Small changes, like drinking water or black coffee, can help protect the brain.
Certain beverages may increase Alzheimer's risk, according to neuroscientist Robert W.B. Love.
Diet soda, containing artificial sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose, may cause brain inflammation.
Sugar-loaded coffee can lead to insulin resistance in the brain, causing cell death.
