Studies link regular coffee drinking to better liver health
Research suggests that daily coffee consumption is associated with healthier livers and a lower risk of chronic liver disease. The most favourable link was most often seen at about three to four cups a day.
For many people coffee is a fixed part of the morning routine, but research indicates it may be associated with more than just alertness. As reported on 17 October by the Latvian newspaper Latvijas Avīze, citing the website Health.com, regular coffee drinking is linked to better liver health and a lower risk of several chronic liver diseases.
Benefits without caffeine too
In the studies, potential benefits were observed not only among people who drink ordinary caffeinated coffee. Similar associations were found among drinkers of decaffeinated coffee. This suggests that other compounds present in coffee, and not only caffeine, may play a role.
More is not necessarily better
The findings do not mean that drinking more coffee automatically leads to healthier livers. In the research, the most favourable association was most often seen at roughly three to four cups per day.
The source describes an observed association between coffee consumption and liver health. The specific diseases, the size of the studies and the number of participants are not detailed in the material, so the data point to a trend rather than serving as advice for everyone to start drinking large amounts of coffee.
