Drinking a double espresso a day and taking regular exercise may help to prevent skin cancer, researchers say.

Low to moderate amounts of caffeine in combination with exercise can be good for health and prevent damage caused by the Sun's ultraviolet rays, a study on mice suggests.

What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

The study is published today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the American journal.Groups of hairless mice, whose exposed skin is vulnerable to the Sun, were the test subjects in experiments in which one set drank caffeinated water — equivalent to up to two cups of coffee for humans — another voluntarily exercised on a running wheel, while a third group both drank caffeine and ran. A fourth group, which served as a control, neither ran nor drank caffeine.

I like to try different kinds at different shops, so I would be very sad if I had to give up my coffees .
