Does coffee really protect against skin cancer?
American scientists conducted an experiment. They managed to interview 450,000 people. Volunteers answered questions about coffee and their lifestyle.
According to the results of the survey, 2,904 people were battling melanoma. A more detailed analysis of the answers led to a surprising conclusion: coffee can indeed reduce the risk of skin cancer, but for this you need to drink 4 cups of the drink a day. And there is a nuance here, because not all people can consume such a large amount of caffeine.
The American Society of Oncologists shared some interesting observations. In addition to reducing the risk of skin cancer, coffee is an excellent prevention of other types of oncology, such as throat, larynx, and kidney cancer. At the same time, the society notes that the risks are reduced by 38%.
