Here's some fantastic, life-changing news to brighten your morning: Caffeine definitely maybe prevents skin cancer.

 

A recent University of Toronto study has built on previous findings, suggesting "that caffeine can help lower one's chances of UV-associated skin cancer by inhibiting a DNA repair pathway, essentially helping cells die after exposure to sunlight."

I have no interest in understanding the nuances of this article, or the study on which it's based. Why ask myself questions about correlation versus causation? Why challenge the research methodology or equivocate on its findings? What's my motivation here?

Obviously, my motivation is to seek out evidence to continue feeding my coffee problem habit hobby.

Armed with this new iron-clad evidence, I will no longer attempt to control my caffeine consumption.

Well, maybe I will. A little.
