More Good News about Coffee

Not long ago there was an article about an association between coffee drinking and decreased incidence of a skin cancer, melanoma. And it does not seem to be related to the indoor habits of coffee drinkers!

Now, in a study of 25,000 South Koreans, they found that drinking 3-4 cups of coffee daily may lower the calcium score in the arteries of the heart (a marker of heart disease); but certainly does not increase risk.

While most do not recommend drinking coffee to prevent heart disease or skin cancer, it does not appear to have any ill effects!
