\"\"Coffee is good for your insides\u2014your liver<\/a>, your gut<\/a>, your very soul itself\u2014but did you know that is also may be good for your outsides? A new study suggests that drinking coffee may reduce the skin redness associated with rosacea, a disease that affects a staggering 415 million people worldwide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As reported by Health.com<\/a>, the new study published in JAMA Dermatology<\/em><\/a> found that women who drank four or more cups of coffee daily were 23% less likely to experience the disease than those who drank one cup or fewer of coffee per month. Researchers were particularly interested in coffee’s relationship to rosacea because it’s effects could have gone either way:<\/p>\n

\u201cCoffee is known to decrease vasodilation and have immunosuppressant effects, which may potentially decrease the risk of rosacea,\u201d they wrote in their paper. \u201cHowever the heat from coffee may be a trigger for rosacea flares.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

To reach this conclusion, researchers took data from over 82,000 women who participated in a national study from 1989 to 2005. They found nearly 5,000 participants suffering from rosacea, whose effects include \u201credness, flushing, bumps, and irritation, usually on the face.\u201d<\/p>\n

When cross-referencing those 5,000 cases against each person\u2019s self-reported answers to \u201chealth topics, including their consumption of coffee, tea, soda, and chocolate,\u201d researchers found the correlation between coffee and a decrease in rosacea, specifically caffeinated coffee. There was \u201cno significant evidence\u201d that decaf coffee drinkers were less likely to have the disease. But it\u2019s not simply caffeine having the effect. Other caffeinated products\u2014tea, soda, and chocolate\u2014\u201cwere not significantly associated with a decreased risk of rosacea;\u201d chocolate was even associated with a higher risk.<\/p>\n

The researchers postulate coffee\u2019s efficacy in reducing cases of rosacea comes down to one or all of three factors:<\/p>\n
