DRINKING coffee can cut the risk of skin cancer by more than a third, scientists say.  Researchers found that people who drank more than six cups of caffeinated coffee a day reduced their chances of developing skin cancer by 35 per cent, while those who drank two or three cups were 12 per cent less likely to have the disease.OMG - six cups a day - I wonder if they hold shares in coffee companies.  Scientists believe caffeine could stop skin cancers spreading by stopping cells dividing, or by acting as an anti-oxidant.  The researchers said the findings applied equally to men and women of all ages.What next - drinking coffee is good for sex!!!! LOLThe Age.

Of course coffee is good for sex .

Caffeine is a stimulant ( belongs to the same family as cocaine ) and it helps reduce the production of lactic acid . Build up of lactic acid is what makes your body tired . Athletes in the Olympics get banned if tests reveal high levels of caffeine .

Six cups of coffee I would need sleeping pills to get to sleep!!!

I am no scientist, but let's take an in depth look at these findings in the way of a daily cycle:-

Daytime: Drink coffee to stave off skin cancer.

Night time: Can't sleep, wake up at 6am, pissed off, take the dog for a walk, and expose self to sun.

Early daytime: Exposed to more sun because taking the afore mentioned dog for a walk, therefore, increasing risk of skin cancer.

Normal daytime: Tired because of lack of sleep, drink more coffee.

Next day: As before, but with more of everything, because of vicious circle.

Do I become Dr Stu for that?

staying indoors during daylight hours works for me!!

drinking coffee and smoking herb is the 7 heaven.great for anything.

a starbuck coffee cost 100+ B

6 cups will be arround 700 B.

And homemade coffee is not so tasty to take up to 6 cups a day.

Coffee good for sex ??? mmmmm ," I "am good for sex, you don't need coffee, just me 6 times a day !! ( 5555555 ) What a dreamer !

I used to drink 4 cups everday... nowadays 3 cups in a day is maximum for me... normally 2 only and no coffee during weekend.

Coffee only keeps people who normally DONT drink coffee awake. It has no effect whatsoever on some...in fact a cup of coffee just before bed is very pleasant in cool weather (but brush teeth before getting in bed or Grezzzy will kill me).

911nozomi - yes absolutely right, but more than one Starbucks a day would make me throw up anyway...it is after all an American chain, and on each visit to the USA, I have never once found them able to provide a decent cup of coffee in any of the hotels etc. What they seem to call "coffee" is like a dirty brown water, with about as much taste...maybe I was just unlucky...everywhere... they have a FEW nice beers there though..

There was a place in San Francisco that used to offer bottomless cups of coffee...and they had SMALL, MEDIUM and LARGE, all at different prices!!! Duh....

A French doc said to my brother that after 3 cups a day, you have an option for bladder cancer!!!

YOU JUST HAVE TO CHOOSE!

amazing always a lot to learn I drink just 2 of those little little cups a day espresso so hope i will not have problems )

I don't drink coffee, but I heard that apples can cut the risk of cancer too....not sure if it can cut the risk of skin cancer or not.

Just a cup to refresh my eyes in the morning at work enough. ))
