Coffee protects your DNA (Yeay!)

“If you want to decrease your cancer risk, it looks like coffee is a good place to start. A group of German researchers gave healthy participants 4 small cups of coffee over the course of 8 hours, taking DNA samples throughout. Participants showed significantly more intact DNA within 2 hours of their first cup of joe, and their DNA fared better and better with every cup afterward. That’s great news, because DNA integrity links to lower risk of cancer, immune system function, and brain performance.”
