Coffee to Lower Risk of Skin Cancer?

A new study has found that coffee might help lower the risk of skin cancer. Researchers discovered that women who drink three cups or more of coffee each day were 20 percent less likely to be diagnosed with BBC, or basal cell melanoma. Men who drank three cups of coffee a day were nine percent less likely to be diagnosed. These tests were compared to those who drank less than one cup of coffee a month.

BBC, basal cell melanoma, is a common type of non-melanoma skin cancer. The study, as of now, is only observational. A total of 113,000 men and women were observed over the course of twenty years.
