Good news for coffee drinkers — as long as they’re men

Drink up, Kevin Spacey. (Hey, you try finding a picture of a non-famous guy drinking coffee.) Getty Images
Here’s to your health, guys. Have an extra cup of coffee this afternoon and say “you’re welcome” to your prostate.

A study from the Harvard School of Public Health finally brings good news about the powers of everyone’s favorite jitters juice: It could decrease the risk of prostate cancer.

That research flies in the face of a much-publicized study out of Harvard about 30 years ago, which said too much coffee increases the risk of pancreatic cancer among men and woman. (Of course, scientists had to take that one back shortly after, chalking the mistake up to a big research” whoops.”)

But this time, they think they have it right. Really.
