Drinking coffee is good against the skin cancer

Regular consumption of coffee reduces the risk of skin cancer, says a U.S. study last Monday.

According to this study by scientists at the American Association for Cancer Research in Boston, drink about three cups of coffee a day would reduce by 20% in women the risk of basalioma, a form of skin cancer.

However, men do seem to enjoy so much. In turn, consume about three cups of coffee a day reduces only 9% of their risk of developing this cancer. Researchers can not yet explain why.

For several years, scientists ask themselves the benefits of caffeine on health.

Various studies have already shown an association between regular coffee consumption and decreased risk of prostate cancer tumor or cervix.

Other studies have shown that caffeine would be useful to address other types of diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, diabetes or liver cancer.

A survey published a year ago, also shows that drinking coffee reduces the risk of depression in women.
