February 1/London/Daily Mail -- Drinking coffee improves women's brainpower in stressful situations but sends men into meltdown, according to a study.
While sipping a cappuccino or downing an espresso boosts women's performance when working with others, the same drinks impair men's memories and slow their decision-making. Given that Britons get through some 70 million cups of coffee a day, the implications are significant, say the researchers.
