      He Taught Starbucks How to Make Coffee

      (Newser) - The Dutchman who gave America an early jolt of caffeine culture died Friday at his home in Oregon, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Traditionally tea drinkers, Russians have warmed up to domestic coffee purveyors, and few expect Starbucks' latest expansion to fail. More »

Drinking three or more cups of coffee per day reduced verbal memory loss in French women aged 65 and up by 33% compared to women who drank a cup or less, researchers say.

      Price Jump Could Ice Coffee Sales

      (Newser) - Starbucks recently hiked the cost of its coffee an average of 9¢ a cup—the seventh bump up since 1997.

      Drinking Coffee May Fight Colon Cancer

      (Newser) - Drinking three or more cups of coffee a day can cut the risk of colon cancer in half—but the benefit manifests itself only in women.

      Peppy Combo May Battle Skin Cancer

      (Newser) - A 1-2 punch of caffeine and exercise may help prevent skin cancer. Hairless mice fed caffeinated water who worked out on a running wheel showed an increase in destruction of skin cells damaged by UVB rays, the AP reports, and the secret appears to be the combination. Researchers caution, however, that sunscreen remains the best skin cancer prevention. More »

      'Caffeinated' Workout May Cut Cancer

      (Newser) - New research suggests that drinking coffee, combined with regular exercise, speeds up the killing off of cells damaged by ultraviolet-B radiation. Researchers at Rutgers University specifically examined UVB apoptosis — the programmed death of cells that become damaged by ultraviolet rays – in hairless mice. This sort of cell-suicide helps prevent the formation of deadly melanoma skin cancer. The mice were divided into four groups for the study. The first group drank the equivalent of one or two cups of coffee per day. The second group exercised regularly on a running wheel. The third had both caffeine and exercise, and a fourth group had neither. The rate of cell suicide was 400 percent greater in mice that both drank caffeine and exercised, when compared to the control group, the researchers say. When combined, caffeine and exercise also “markedly” decreased tissue fat in the mice. More »

      (Newser) - With the cost of energy and dairy soaring, Starbucks will hike prices for the second time in less than a year at the end of the month.

The hike applies to company-owned stores; licensed operators usually follow suit, a spokesman tells the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. More »
