Drinking coffee can reduce the risk of skin cancer

Drinking coffee and caffeine can reduce the risk of basal cell cancer, the most common form of skin cancer, a new study suggests. But the researchers say that based on a study, you should not change your coffee habits.

"our data show that you consume more caffeinated coffee and reduce the risk of basal cell cancer," said Gallihan, an associate professor at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health in Boston. However, he added, "I don't recommend increasing your coffee intake based on these data alone."

The results added to coffee have at least implied that women with depression have a lower risk and can offset other obvious benefits of cognitive decline. Coffee may even help prevent Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and type 2 diabetes.

In a statement, "our study found that basal cell cancer increased conditions, while the risk of increased coffee consumption decreased," Hanshu. "the list includes conditions for serious adverse health consequences, such as type 2 diabetes and Parkinson's disease."

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of diagnosis of skin cancer in the United States. It develops slowly, but it can be fatal.

Han and his colleagues investigated factors affecting women's health from nurses' health studies, large and long-running studies, to help study data, as well as health professionals follow-up studies, a similar study of men.

Of the 112897 people involved in the analysis, 22786 developed basal cell carcinoma for more than 20 years of follow-up, the researchers explained in a statement in two studies. Tea, cola and chocolate: the risk of basal cell cancer is lower, linked to caffeinated coffee consumption and caffeine from other sources. Decaf coffee does not have the same effect.

"these results do suggest that it is caffeine in coffee and is responsible for a reduced risk of basal cell cancer associated with coffee consumption," Han said. "this is consistent with the published mouse data, which suggests that caffeine can block skin tumorigenesis, but before more research sessions on different groups and additional mechanisms, we can make it clear that this needs to be consistent."

There are two other forms of skin cancer, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma, the deadliest of this disease, between caffeine consumption and the risk of caffeine consumption.

The findings are detailed in Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.
