The Claim
The certainty of evidence linking tea, coffee, and caffeine to dementia and Alzheimer’s disease is rated as low to very low by the GRADE system, indicating high uncertainty in these associations.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Scientists aren’t sure if drinking tea, coffee, or caffeine affects your risk of dementia or Alzheimer’s — the evidence is too weak to say for sure.

What the research says
1 studyThis study looked at whether drinking tea, coffee, or getting caffeine affects dementia risk, and it found the evidence is still pretty shaky — just like the claim says. Even though tea might help a little, scientists aren’t very sure because the data isn’t strong enough to be confident.
