Drinking Coffee Lowers Risk of Common Skin Cancer

Caffeinated coffee may lower the chances of developing basel cell carcinoma, the most common form of skin cancer, a new study by researchers at Brigham and Women´s Hospital of Harvard Medical School in Boston suggests.

"Our data indicate that the more caffeinated coffee you consume, the lower your risk of developing basal cell carcinoma," explains scientist Jiali Han.

The authors analyzed 20 years of data. More than 112,897 people took part in the study.
