Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Turns out that caffeine has another positive benefit besides keeping you awake during finals week: it can help your skin.
Researchers in England have discovered that a combination of exercise and caffeinated water can reduce the damaging effects of sun on the skin. Of course, we already knew that exercise can help the skin in general (it's amazing the effect exercise has on our body, and not just weight-wise), but the new research seems to show that caffeine can help with apotosis, when the body gets rid of damaged cells.
The research says "caffeinated water," but I wonder how that translates to "coffee," exactly. Does it have to be coffee, or would it work with tea and Jolt too?
My favorite part of the article is where it says a UK expert warns that coffee is "definitely not a substitute for sun protection." I guess that means Starbucks can cancel their plans for those coffee scented moist towelettes.
