Your daily coffee fix may help you fend off skin cancer:

For each cup of caffeinated java that you drink every day, there's a 5 percent drop in your odds of developing non-melanoma skin cancer later in life, researchers recently reported. Down a couple of Starbucks' venti coffees at 20 ounces apiece, and you may score a 30 percent drop in risk (or more — researchers didn't ask study participants about more than six cups a day). "It's possible coffee's antioxidant effect helps to protect against skin cancer," says Ernest L. Abel, Ph.D., professor at Wayne State University School of Medicine. "But part of it may be that people who drink a lot of coffee tend to stay indoors more."
