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.
