Coffee May Help Prevent Melanoma Skin Cancer: Time for Coffee Stocks

If you are worried about whether the coffee you drink is good for you, you can worry no longer. There have been many research studies showing the health benefits of coffee, but the latest news is that coffee may reduce the risk of melanoma. According to a recent article in JNCI: Journal of the National Cancer Institute, researchers discovered that those who drank four or more cups of coffee a day had a 20% lower risk of getting malignant melanoma skin cancer. The study was done on 447,000 subjects. Unfortunately, drinkers of decaf didn't get the same benefit.

If you want to invest in caffeine, there are about 20 companies in the coffee and tea business, according to the list of coffee stocks at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com. Several of them pay dividends.

Starbucks (SBUX) is the largest coffeehouse retailer in the world, with more than 18,000 shops worldwide. The stock trades at 28 times trailing earnings and 25 times forward earnings, and sports a yield of 1.4%.

Keurig Green Mountain (GMCR), based in Waterbury, Vermont, trades at 32  times trailing earnings and 25 times forward earnings. Earnings for the latest reported quarter dropped slightly by 2.6%. The stock pays a yield of 1.0%.
