Coffee May Help Reduce Risk for Skin Cancer

A report in the January, 2012 issue of DaySpa reflects results of studies at the Mayo Clinic and Harvard and Vanderbilt Universities.  These studies show that people who drank 3 cups of coffee a day were less likely to develop basal cell carcinoma.  (Basal cell carcinoma is the most common and least invasive form of skin cancer.)  Women who participated in the study showed a 20 percent risk reduction while men in the study had a 9 percent risk reduction.  The analysis was based on a population of 113,000 between 1984 and 2008.  Researchers compared the amount of coffee consumed with the rate of basal cell carcinoma.  Coffee is reported to be high in free radical-fighting antioxidants.  According to the report, this benefit just might help minimize the development of basal cell skin cancer!
