Consuming caffeine
from coffee but not from other foods (tea, soda and chocolate) was
associated with less risk of rosacea, a common chronic inflammatory skin
disease where the skin appears red and flushed. This observational
study included more than 82,000 women in the Nurses' Health Study II
with data collected on coffee, tea, soda and chocolate consumption.
Compared with people who had less than one serving of caffeinated coffee
per month, those who had four servings or more per day had the lowest
risk for rosacea. Decaffeinated coffee wasn't associated with decreased
rosacea risk. Rosacea symptoms may be lessened because of caffeine's
vasoconstrictive and immunosuppressant effects but further studies are
to needed to understand the reasons for the observed association.
