Coffee = skin caner adversary?

As if we needed another reason to justify our morning caffeine fixes... today I learned of some new research citing potential skin cancer-fighting benefits of coffee!

Note: this is a correlational study, not causational, so definitive conclusions re: cause and effect can't be drawn.

Also, this doesn't mean you should stop wearing sun screen.

Even so, always glad to hear about "pro Joe" news. Especially on blizzard-like mornings like these, when nothing beats a good 'ole cup of hot java...

Stay warm & safe, Brooklynites! :-)
