Sunshine with a Frappacino

Yes, it's another article on how coffee really is good for you! Come on, where else are you going to get this kind of helpful information? Where else can you glean vital facts to justify your reloading your Starbuck's card?

From the most recent issue of Good Housekeeping magazine, comes the information that "your daily coffee may help you fend off skin cancer." Researchers report that for every cup you drink per day, your chance of developing non-melanoma skin cancer later in life drops by 5%. A couple of Ventis per day would lower your chances by 30%. "It's possible coffee's antioxidant effect helps to protect against skin cancer," reports a professor from Detroit's Wayne State University School of Medicine. Of course the Michigander also admits that part of the benefits "may be that people who drink a lot of coffee tend to stay indoors more."

So, grab your frozen mocha frappacino or iced coffee and get out there and grab those few Michigan rays while we've got them! (Note: No French researchers were quoted during the writing of this article.)
