The Claim
Beta-amyloid plaques accumulate in the brain and disrupt neuronal communication, leading to cognitive decline.
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In the brain, sticky clumps called beta-amyloid plaques build up over time and interfere with how brain cells talk to each other, which can make it harder to think and remember things.

What the research says
1 studyStudy: Phenylindanes in Brewed Coffee Inhibit Amyloid-Beta and Tau Aggregation
This study found that certain chemicals in dark roast coffee can stop the sticky clumps (beta-amyloid plaques) from forming in the brain, which are known to mess up brain signals and cause memory problems—so it supports the idea that these plaques are harmful.
