Can Coffee Fight Skin Cancer ?


A new study in 2002 shows that adding caffeine to the skin in laboratory mice can kill cancer cells at a rate of 70+%. Officials from the American Academy of Dermatology want to follow up with studies on pre-cancerous lesions and post-operative skin cancer. Caffeine is supposed to have a biological effect that selects cancerous tumors and not normal cells. The caffeine causes the cancerous cells to commit suicide leaving behind a less-cancerous skin. A treatment might be created in the future that acts like a morning-after treatment for heavy sun exposure. The only downside to this study is that there might not be a good correlation from mice to humans.
