Remember when eggs were good for you, then bad for you, then good for you again?
It seems that coffee is going the same route. Though we're frequently reminded not to drink more than a cup or two of coffee a day, a new study from researchers at Rutgers University suggests that, along with exercise, having a cup or two of coffee daily can help protect you from skin cancer.
Doctor Allan Conney says more tests are needed to see if the results in mice will be duplicated in humans. He also warns that neither caffeine nor exercise is a substitute for sunscreen. With the National Cancer Institute reporting a million new cases of skin cancer in Americans annually, keep the SPF handy and keep the number high!
