Study Finds Coffee Consumption Linked to Lower Liver Disease Risk

A recent study has found that drinking one to two cups of coffee daily reduces the risk of serious liver diseases.

• The study, published in the journal Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, followed over 335,000 healthy participants for approximately 13 years.
• The researchers reported that drinking five or more cups of coffee daily was associated with a 32% lower risk of liver fibrosis, a 47% lower risk of liver cancer, and a 42% lower risk of death from liver disease.
• MRI results showed that coffee consumption reduced liver fat, inflammation, and scarring, while blood tests indicated improved liver function.
• The lead researcher stated that the findings confirm the importance of moderate coffee consumption, noting that the benefits were similar for both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee.
