I’ve always liked a little chocolate alongside my coffee

 

 

According to a new report published in the journal Cancer Research, drinking more caffeinated coffee may decrease your chances of developing the most common form of skin cancer,  basal cell carcinoma,.

Researchers analyzed data from the famous Nurses’ Health Study on more than 112,000 people. One  in four of those studied had developed basal cell carcinoma over a 20 year period. Investigators found the more someone drank caffeinated coffee, (more than two cups a day) the lower their risk of developing this form of cancer.

Scientists noted caffeine seemed to be key factor, because tea, cola and chocolate, all of which contain caffeine also seemed to cut a person’s risk.
