| THE BEST MEDICINE- LAUGH! SECOND DOSE Last night, my friend and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her, "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug." She got up, unplugged the TV, and threw out my wine |

A cup of java with that morning workout might just help you fight skin
cancer.
According to a new study by a research team at Rutgers University, lab
mice who worked out and were fed coffee—no hint as to whether they
preferred double Latte or expresso--- lowered their incidence of
developing cancerous melanoma. The mice who both worked our and
gulped java lowered their incidence of skin cancer by 400%.
About a million people in the U.S. are diagnosed with skin cancer each
year. That makes skin cancer the most common form of cancer in the
United States.
Coffee has been linked to lower skin cancer rates in at least three studies
since 2002. Another study by the same group at Rutgers found in 2002
that mice lathered with skin lotion containing caffeine had a dramatically
lower incidence of cancerous skin tumors, called squamous cell
carcinomas. Those lathered with the caffeine lotion had a 72% fewer
cancer cases.
Coffee may also help battle breast cancer. A study by the Dr. Steven A.
Narod at the University of Ontario at Toronto showed that coffee contains
chemicals called phytoestrogens that reduce the chemical markers for
breast cancer. What was different about this study is that it focused on
1600 women from four countries who had the highest genetic risk for
developing breast cancer. These women carry gene mutations called
BRCA1 and BRCA2.
The researchers found that --- compared to women who drank no coffee
at all ---the chances of developing breast cancer among women carrying
the BRCA gene mutation was reduced when they drank coffee by 10% in
those who drank 1 to 3 cups of coffee daily, and up to 25% in those who
drank 4 to 5 cups. Those who drank 6 or more cups reduced their chances
by a whopping 69%.
All of the researchers caution that, even though coffee lowers the risk for
cancer, coffee drinkers shouldn’t assume they are bullet-proof against
cancer.
So, keep lathering on the sunscreen and eating a healthy diet rich in
vegetables to maximize your protection against cancer. And, make that a
double cappuccino to go.
