Caffeine Slows Cancer, Alzheimer’s

April 16, 2008: 12:00 AM EST
Researchers at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, in Piscataway, say that caffeine can help to protect mice from UV-induced skin cancer. Both drinking caffeine before exposure to UVB radiation and applying caffeine to the skin after exposure reduced skin damage. In more good news for caffeine lovers, researchers from the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences say that a daily dose blocks the disruptive effects of high cholesterol that scientists have linked to Alzheimer's disease.
